Storm damage roof report in Norwood Green
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you are worried about torn or lifted flat roof coverings and damage from fallen branches or debris, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have often been repaired many times, so a new leak can be the latest sign of wear rather than a single event. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers usually exclude wear and tear. That’s as true in Norwood Green as anywhere in London. A written record with photos helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a visit in Norwood Green, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at what can be seen safely from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
How to book
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Norwood Green
Osterley House, about 0.6 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Norwood Green. 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. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
Take a building like St Mary's Church of England Primary Norwood Green: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. We record which are damaged and where.
What this survey cannot tell you
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- The outcome of a claim
- Areas we can’t see safely
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Norwood Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Norwood Green?
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.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Norwood Green?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you cover Norwood Green?
Yes. We cover Norwood Green and the rest of Greater London. To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
When to book a survey in Norwood Green
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
If you live near a park like Inwood Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
