Storm damage roof report in Rise Park
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you are worried about damaged gutters and fascias and water coming in after the storm, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes alike.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have frequently been repaired many times, so a new leak can be the latest sign of wear rather than a single event. Insurers typically exclude wear and tear, so it is useful to know whether damage is old or new. A careful look in Rise Park tells the two apart where the evidence allows. Photos and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.

Storm damage roof reports around Rise Park
The wider area around Rise Park has a long history of building, with Hare Hall about 1.3 miles south-east. On older houses around here, roofs frequently 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. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
If you own a rental within reach of Gidea Park station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you live near a park like Raphael Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Take an older house close to St James: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Rise Park
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. An independent report can follow. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. That is a good reason to find problems early, while there’s time to plan, rather than in a rush after a leak.

Questions from Rise Park
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Rise Park?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Rise Park?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when booking.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It does not include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a London area like Rise Park, 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. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
