Storm damage roof report in Sipson: what you get
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. If you’re worried about lead lifted at abutments and damaged pots on the stack, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and gutters and fascias alike.
Water getting into a London home often 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. For a leak or storm damage in Sipson, 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.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Sipson questions
How do I find out if my home in Sipson is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Sipson in the area you cover?
Yes, Sipson is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I book a survey in Sipson?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The report follows by email.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Sipson?
Gusts work at anything on a roof that’s loose or exposed. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Damaged ridges and hips
For businesses in and around places such as The Chimes, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.
Questions to ask before you book
- What experience they bring
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Wind, rain and roofs in Sipson
Outer London has a good many Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Historic houses such as Osterley House, about 4.3 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Sipson goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to Christ Church: lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Trees in and around Lake Farm Country Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.

Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. The report shows each damaged area.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Sipson 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.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
