How a storm damage roof report works in Parsons Green
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs and flashings, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and torn or lifted flat roof coverings.
In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows, sometimes in a different flat from the one below the defect. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. We look at what we’re given access to in Parsons Green, inside and out. It helps to know when the water appears and in what weather.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Parsons Green
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. In Parsons Green, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below, which can lead to damp inside. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

What we’re asked to look at in Parsons Green
Gusts work at anything on a roof that’s loose or exposed. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. People normally call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
Take a building like Lady Margaret School: a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the survey won’t cover
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Is VAT included in the price?
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. From the street, a London terrace normally shows only its front slope or parapet, so a visit in Parsons Green moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Storm damage roof reports in Parsons Green: local notes
Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. With Fulham Palace about 0.8 miles west, Parsons Green sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
For landlords with property near Imperial Wharf station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you live near a park like Parsons Green (park), or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Parsons Green: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Parsons Green?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover Parsons Green?
Yes, Parsons Green is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
