Leaks and storm damage in Roxbourne
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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. About 1.8 miles north-east lies Headstone Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Roxbourne has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For landlords with property near South Ruislip station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Shop and office owners around St. George's Shopping Centre may find that a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

About our storm damage roof report in Roxbourne
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you’ve noticed damage from fallen branches or debris and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In London, leaks frequently start somewhere hidden: a butterfly roof’s central valley gutter, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or a flat roof over a back addition. For a leak or storm damage in Roxbourne, those hidden details are where the inspection begins. Water from a hidden gutter can run along joists and show up a room or two away.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we’re asked to look at in Roxbourne
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- New damp or leaks inside
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
Living close to Eastcote House Gardens is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Roxbourne
Do you carry out roof surveys in Roxbourne?
Yes, Roxbourne is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Roxbourne?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report does not include repair costs.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
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 in case your insurer asks for them.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
Each policy has its own definition. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Do not go up a ladder to look.
What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In Roxbourne, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- 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.

What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
It’s useful to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- A decision on your insurance claim
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Estimates of repair costs
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we look at
- Gutters and fascias
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
