About our storm damage roof report in Peaks Hill
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you’ve noticed broken or displaced guttering and damaged flat roof membrane, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, flashings and gutters and fascias alike.
In London, leaks frequently start somewhere hidden: the valley gutter in a butterfly roof, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or the flat roof over a rear extension. For a leak or storm damage in Peaks Hill, those hidden details are where the inspection begins. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Peaks Hill
Insurers frequently want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Look out for signs like these:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- New damp or leaks inside
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
If you run a business near St George's Walk, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.

Peaks Hill questions
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Peaks Hill?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
How do I find out if my home in Peaks Hill is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s 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.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
How do I book a survey in Peaks Hill?
Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.

Booking your survey

- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Unsure which package suits your roof? It’s 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.
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents as you book.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Advice
Peaks Hill roofs and the weather
Historic houses such as Addington Palace, about 4 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Peaks Hill goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Peaks Hill is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mark, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you own a rental within reach of Purley station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Roof by roof
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We look at whether the damage is recent or older.
