Storm damage roof report in Roxeth
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We survey gutters and fascias, flat roofs and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are slates and tiles blown off the roof 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 look at what we’re given access to in Roxeth, inside and out. It is useful to know when the water appears and in what weather.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is normally better. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.

Take a look at how roof surveys are priced and what we found on two real jobs.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We check whether the damage is recent or older.
Slate roofs
Broken slates and slates that have slid out of place are common after a storm. We photograph and describe each one.
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Roxeth
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Which survey package you book
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Building height and the viewpoints available
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Helping us price your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Storm damage roof reports around Roxeth
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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. With Northolt Manor about 1.9 miles south-west, Roxeth sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
The streets around a church such as Christ Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you live near a park like Northwick Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. For businesses in and around places like St. George's Shopping Centre, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.

FAQs for Roxeth
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Roxeth?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway as you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Roxeth?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Practical tips
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.

What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Surveys in Roxeth can be booked for any day of the week. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it is useful to know what’s near you. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
