Why get it checked now?
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. Knowing what’s needed early gives you time to plan it calmly.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

About our storm damage roof report in Perry Vale
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you are worried about lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once, so a new leak can be the latest sign of wear rather than a single event. Insurers usually exclude wear and tear, so it helps to know whether damage is old or new. A careful look in Perry Vale tells the two apart where the evidence allows. A written record with photos helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Surveys in Perry Vale can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- 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.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Advice
Tips from our surveys
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.

Different roofs, different checks

Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
Perry Vale roofs and the weather
With Kingswood House about 1.7 miles west, Perry Vale sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Homes near green spaces like Mayow Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Take a building like Perrymount Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Landlords with a home close to Forest Hill station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

FAQs for Perry Vale
Do you cover Perry Vale?
Yes, Perry Vale is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Perry Vale?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
