How a storm damage roof report works in North Wembley
After a storm, it helps 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 are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’ve noticed torn or lifted flat roof coverings and damaged ridges and hips, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes alike.
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 normally exclude wear and tear. That is as true in North Wembley as anywhere in London. A written record with photos helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in North Wembley
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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. About 2.9 miles west lies Northolt Manor, a reminder of how long the area around North Wembley has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you look after a building such as Park Lane Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Take an older house close to Church of St John: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
North Wembley is about 2 miles south-east of Harrow, in Greater London. Whether the building in North Wembley is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof. Our Greater London coverage includes North Wembley and the places around it. Our London page covers surveys nearby.
Surveys in HA0, HA9 and UB6 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. That includes homes and businesses on Elm Road, East Lane and High Road.

The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In North Wembley, as in much of London, lots of properties are flats or terraces without side access, so the back of the roof is often seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, tell us as you book.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Leave it or get it looked at?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it is better to know. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. In North Wembley, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: failed flashings and blocked valley gutters can send water into more than one home. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before you book.

Take a look at how roof surveys are priced and two real surveys.
How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Broken slates and slates that have slid out of place are common after a storm. Each area is photographed and described.
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in North Wembley?
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. What happens next is up to the insurer.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near London Designer Outlet, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
What to check before booking
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- When you will get the report
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- A decision on your insurance claim
- Estimates of repair costs
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before you book. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
- Chimney stacks
- Gutters and fascias
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The size of the roof
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- What kind of property and roof it is
- What made you get in touch
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.

Common questions in North Wembley
Is North Wembley in the area you cover?
Yes, North Wembley is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in North Wembley as anywhere else.
Is my home in North Wembley listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How do I book a survey in North Wembley?
Just ring 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
