How a storm damage roof report works in South Kenton
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We survey flashings, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips, and the problems we are asked to look at most are cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and damage from fallen branches or debris.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have often been repaired many times, so a new leak can be the latest sign of wear rather than a single event. Insurers typically exclude wear and tear, so it’s useful to know whether damage is old or new. That’s as true in South Kenton as anywhere in London. A written record with photographs helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
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 applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Useful tips for South Kenton property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
If you’re unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. If that doesn’t resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
South Kenton roofs and the weather
About 2.6 miles north-west lies Headstone Manor, a reminder of how long the area around South Kenton has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near St. Anns, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Byron Court Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of the Annunciation, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Questions from South Kenton
Do you cover South Kenton?
Yes, South Kenton is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in South Kenton?
It depends on the street. If South Kenton has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer, and a driveway is even better.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.

Why it’s worth a survey now in South Kenton
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. When the stain finally shows, the damage underneath is often older than it looks.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. We record what we find.
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we frequently see cracked and slipped slates. Each area is photographed and described.
How the survey works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. Where that’s the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- 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.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Getting a price
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
