How a storm damage roof report works in North End
After a storm, it is useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. Typical surveys look at roofs hit by falling trees and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, on slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and flashings.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers usually exclude wear and tear. A careful look in North End tells the two apart where the evidence allows. Photos and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Common questions in North End
Do you cover North End?
Yes, North End is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in North End?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway as you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in North End?
Simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from the ground first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in North End
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damaged flat roof membrane
If you run a business near Hammersmith Broadway, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.

What we cannot see
Every survey has limits, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Negotiating a claim settlement
- Areas we can’t see safely
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Flat roofs
- Ridges and hips
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
What you can safely check yourself
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a visit in North End, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly usually means less damage overall. In North End, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.

North End roofs and the weather
Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that can’t be seen from the pavement. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. Garden Lodge, about 0.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around North End. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as St. Andrew's Fulham Fields, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Trees in and around Gwendwr Garden shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
