About our storm damage roof report in Rosehill
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. Typical surveys look at holes or cracks caused by debris and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, on slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and flashings.
Water getting into a London home often comes from a detail you can’t see from the street: the valley gutter in a butterfly roof, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or the flat roof over a rear extension. Whether you’re tracing a leak or recording storm damage in Rosehill, those are among the first places to look. Water from a hidden gutter can run along joists and show up a room or two away.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Common questions in Rosehill
Do you carry out roof surveys in Rosehill?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Rosehill as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Rosehill listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Only from ground level or from windows. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.

What else we do in Rosehill
What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a London area like Rosehill, the main things to sort out are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.

Roof by roof
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Storm damage roof reports around Rosehill
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. About 2.6 miles south-west lies Nonsuch Mansion, a reminder of how long the area around Rosehill has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter's Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Trees in and around Morden Hall Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Tweeddale Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Landlords and letting agents in Rosehill book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Photograph the damage safely from below
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Rosehill
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is normally better. In Rosehill, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Why us?
- 20+ years’ experience
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Surveys seven days a week
- Package prices that include VAT
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book.
