What a storm damage roof report looks like in Peckham
With Queen's House about 2.6 miles east, Peckham sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that can’t be seen from the pavement. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near All Saints Church, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as John Donne Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Peckham is about 2 miles south-east of London, in Greater London. If you’re in Peckham, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Peckham is one of the places in Greater London we cover for storm damage roof reports.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Peckham
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are often asked to look into new damp or leaks inside and damaged gutters and fascias, across gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. In Peckham, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. Let us know when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Peckham: your questions answered
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Peckham?
It depends on the street. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well.
How do I find out if my home in Peckham is listed?
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.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect what can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What we cannot see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll recommend the right survey. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
- Gutters and fascias
- Slate and tile slopes
- Ridges and hips
- Chimney stacks
What happens on the day
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Peckham we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- You tell us 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.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Common roof problems in Peckham
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Water coming in after the storm
- Loose or torn flashings
Landlords with a home close to Queens Road Peckham station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
What to check before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Will the report include photos?
- How soon the report will arrive
- Are they insured for the work?
What happens if roof problems are left?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is normally better. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why book with us
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Photos and a written report every time
- An independent view of the roof
- Visits on any day of the week

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports

What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters.
