Why act early in Peckham Bush
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our report can then add a clear record. In a place like Peckham Bush, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

How a storm damage roof report works in Peckham Bush
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We survey slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are ridge tiles that have come loose and stains appearing after strong winds.
Being in a small place like Peckham Bush makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
We’ll typically ask about:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The kind of building and roof involved
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like Peckham Bush, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Keep pets in another room
- Tell us where we can park nearby

Common roof problems in Peckham Bush
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Common reasons to book include:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Water coming in after the storm
- Damaged flat roof membrane
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as East Peckham Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What happens after the report arrives
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Storm damage roof reports in Peckham Bush: local notes
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Old Soar Manor, about 3.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Peckham Bush. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of the Holy Trinity, 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 Yalding station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Common questions in Peckham Bush
Is my home in Peckham Bush listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Peckham Bush?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Peckham Bush as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How do I book a survey in Peckham Bush?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
