Storm damage roof report in South Ealing
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you’ve noticed damaged ridges and hips and slates and tiles blown off the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, on slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks alike.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once. Insurers usually exclude wear and tear, so it’s useful to know whether damage is old or new. A careful look in South Ealing tells the two apart where the evidence allows. A written record with photographs helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Useful tips for South Ealing property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
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.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
For landlords and managing agents
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Honest limits
It helps to know what a survey won’t do before booking:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

South Ealing: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in South Ealing?
It can be, so it is useful to let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Is South Ealing in the area you cover?
Yes, South Ealing is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it isn’t resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Storm damage roof reports around South Ealing
Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. With Gunnersbury Park about 0.7 miles east, South Ealing sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as 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.
Homes near green spaces such as Lammas Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. Anyone responsible for a site like Grange Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

What we do, step by step
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. Most visits take 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 a visit in South Ealing moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. If other people live in the building, let us know who can let us into the shared parts.
- You let us know 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.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
