About our storm damage roof report in Queen's Park
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. It is yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Typical surveys look at damaged pots on the stack and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, across flat roofs, gutters and fascias and flashings.
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. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers normally exclude wear and tear. That’s as true in Queen's Park as anywhere in London. A written record with photos helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What we do, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In Queen's Park, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Tell us where we can park nearby

A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Roofs hit by falling trees
Shop and office owners around O2 Centre may find that finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.

Queen's Park: your questions answered
Is Queen's Park in the area you cover?
Yes, Queen's Park is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Is my home in Queen's Park listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What does a storm damage report cost?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Useful tips for Queen's Park property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- How big the roof is
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
For landlords and managing agents
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Letting agents and landlords in Queen's Park book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Queen's Park
The wider area around Queen's Park has a long history of building, with Winfield House about 1.7 miles east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, frequently with Welsh slate roofs. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. If your home in Queen's Park is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
For an older house near a landmark such as West Kilburn Baptist Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Take a building like St Luke's CofE Primary School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
