Storm damage roof report in Queensbury: what you get
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey flat roofs, flashings and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged pots on the stack and ridge tiles that have come loose.
In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. We check what we’re given access to in Queensbury, inside and out. Let us know when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. From the street, a London terrace normally shows only its front slope or parapet, so a visit in Queensbury moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.

What affects the price in Queensbury
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
What we need to know
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:
- Anything about access we should know
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Queensbury
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. About 2.7 miles west lies Headstone Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Queensbury has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Broadwalk Centre, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Glebe Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you live near a park like Roe Green Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
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.

Queensbury questions
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Queensbury?
Normally it’s manageable with a little notice. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we’ll work around them.
How do I find out if my home in Queensbury is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Do you work in Queensbury?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes Queensbury.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. The written report follows by email.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Branches and debris can damage flat roofs or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, frequently where nails have rusted. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
