An experienced roof surveyor for storm damage roof reports in Seething Wells. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us across London and the South East.
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Loose or torn flashings
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. From the street, a London terrace typically shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Seething Wells we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Jot down any questions you want answered
How to book
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.

Storm damage roof report in Seething Wells: what you get
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. Typical surveys look at flat roof edges peeled back and roofs hit by falling trees, across gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
Water getting into a London home frequently comes from a detail you cannot 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 Seething Wells, 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 is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Seething Wells questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Seething Wells?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Seething Wells?
It depends on the street. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well, and a driveway is even better.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There is no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.

- Broken or displaced guttering
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Storm damage roof reports around Seething Wells
With Hampton Court Palace about 1.3 miles north-west, Seething Wells sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
Anyone responsible for a site like Maple Infants' School will know that a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you run a business near Bentall Centre, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
