Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in North Hyde
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you’ve noticed holes or cracks caused by debris and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows, sometimes in a different flat from the one below the defect. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. In North Hyde, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. It is useful to know when the water appears and in what weather.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What we are asked to look at in North Hyde
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Common reasons to book include:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
Living close to Minet Country Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
What to check before booking
- Their insurance cover
- Will the report include photos?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Is VAT included in the price?

What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it’s useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in North Hyde runs like any other.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Leave a clear route to the loft
How to book
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Questions from North Hyde
How do I find out if my home in North Hyde is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in North Hyde?
Parking in North Hyde, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available as you book.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in North Hyde?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.

Storm damage roof reports in North Hyde: local notes
Historic houses like Osterley House, about 1.3 miles east, show how far back building in the area around North Hyde goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
For businesses in and around places like Treaty Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. If you live in an older home near St Leonard's Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Useful tips for North Hyde property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
