Storm damage roof report in Paddington Green
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you’ve noticed damaged flat roof membrane and lead lifted at abutments, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have frequently 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 normally exclude wear and tear. A careful look in Paddington Green 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.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Paddington Green roofs and the weather
Winfield House, about 0.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Paddington Green. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. In a house like that, shared stacks, party-wall upstands and lead flashings all need looking at as far as they can be seen. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Mary on Paddington Green Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you let a flat or house near London Paddington station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Paddington Green?
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damaged ridges and hips
Living close to Kensington Gardens is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before booking anyone
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Their report turnaround times
How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. In Paddington Green, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Tell us about parking before the day

Is my home in Paddington Green listed or in a conservation area?

Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take an hour or two for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.

Checking the roof from ground level
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
