About our storm damage roof report in Perivale
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We survey flashings, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged flat roof membrane and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. In Perivale, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. Tell us when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Common questions in Perivale
Do you cover Perivale?
Yes, Perivale is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Perivale as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Perivale?
Parking in Perivale, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Will you check the loft?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey usually takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a London area like Perivale, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. We then look at everything that’s safely in view from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- 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.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Storm damage roof reports in Perivale: local notes
Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Perivale is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Historic houses such as Pitzhanger Manor, about 2 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Perivale goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near South Greenford station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Living close to Castle Bar Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

What else we do in Perivale
When to book a survey in Perivale
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People typically call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
Look out for signs like these:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- New damp or leaks inside
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
Take an older house close to St. Mary with St. Nicholas - Perivale: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Their insurance cover
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What the survey will not cover
Why it’s worth a survey now in Perivale
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork, which can lead to damp inside. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What you get with us
- 98% of clients satisfied
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
What we can’t see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- A price for the repairs
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- A decision on your insurance claim
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
