Common questions in Putney
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Putney?
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.
Do you cover Putney?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Putney is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
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 I check the roof after a storm?
Only from the ground or from windows. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we’ll record the rest.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
How do I book a survey in Putney?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access as you book.
Storm damage roof report in Putney: what you get
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey chimney stacks, ridges and hips and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are water coming in after the storm and loose or torn flashings.
In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows, sometimes in a different flat from the one below the defect. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. In Putney, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. It helps to know when the water appears and in what weather.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Putney roofs and the weather
The wider area around Putney has a long history of building, with Fulham Palace about 0.6 miles north-east. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that can’t be seen from the pavement. In a house like that, shared stacks, party-wall upstands and lead flashings all need looking at as far as they can be seen. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
The streets around a church like Polish Church of St John the Evangelist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you look after a building such as Our Lady of Victories Catholic Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Putney is about 1 mile south-west of Fulham, in Greater London. Roofs in Putney get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Greater London. Our Greater London coverage includes Putney. For surveys nearby, see our London page.
We cover every part of the SW15, SW19 and SW13 postcode area for storm damage roof reports and the streets around it. We cover properties on Putney High Street, Upper Richmond Road and Spencer Walk.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely. The survey usually takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. From the street, a London terrace usually shows only its front slope or parapet, so a visit in Putney moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. If other people live in the building, let us know who can let us into the shared parts.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Do not go up a ladder to look.
What affects the price in Putney
Several things affect the price of a survey:
