How a storm damage roof report works in Notting Dale
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey flashings, flat roofs and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are lead lifted at abutments and water coming in after the storm.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling, 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 Notting Dale, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. It’s useful to know when the water appears and in what weather.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

Why get it checked now?
It’s useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: failed flashings and blocked valley gutters can send water into more than one home. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.

Questions from Notting Dale
Is my home in Notting Dale listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Notting Dale in the area you cover?
Yes, Notting Dale is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. The report follows by email.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when booking.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.

Storm damage roof reports around Notting Dale
The wider area around Notting Dale has a long history of building, with Sambourne House about 1.1 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. From the street you may see only a parapet, with a butterfly roof and a valley gutter behind it draining to the back. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you own a rental within reach of Shepherds Bush station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. The streets around a church such as Church of St Sava are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Westfield London, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.

Roof by roof
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Slate roofs
Slates frequently outlast the nails that hold them. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
How the survey works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a London area like Notting Dale, the main things to sort out are parking and access: 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 everything that’s safely in view from ground level, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
