About our storm damage roof report in Spring Park
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It’s a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey gutters and fascias, flat roofs and ridges and hips, and people most frequently book us about flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and damaged pots on the stack.
In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows, sometimes in a different flat from the one below the defect. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. In Spring Park, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. It helps to know when the water appears and in what weather.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it is safe. That keeps a record of how it looked. 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.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking.
What you get with us
- Surveys seven days a week
- Photographs and a written report every time
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
If you’re unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. 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.
Leaks and storm damage in Spring Park
About 1.3 miles south lies Addington Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Spring Park has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. 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.
If you let a flat or house near West Wickham station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you live near a park such as Millers Pond, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
Spring Park is about 2 miles south of Beckenham, in Greater London. If you’re in Spring Park, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Spring Park is one of the places in Greater London we cover. Our London page covers surveys nearby.
Storm damage roof reports in CR0, BR4 and BR3 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. If you need a storm damage roof report at a property on Ash Road, Lake Road and Kent Road or a nearby road, we can survey it. If you’re just outside Spring Park, we cover Coney Hall (1 mile south-east), West Wickham (1 mile east), Eden Park (1 mile north), Shirley (1 mile west) and Monks Orchard (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (9 miles north), City of Westminster (11 miles north-west), Marylebone (11 miles north-west), Kensington (11 miles north-west), St Pancras (11 miles north) and Shoreditch (11 miles north).
Local landmarks in Spring Park
In Spring Park, that means homes and buildings near Millers Pond, McDonald's drive thro' pub and Orchard Park High School. The closest station to Spring Park is West Wickham station, about 0.8 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include National Psychosis Unit (less than half a mile north) and Bethlem Museum of the Mind (2.6 miles east). For a walk, there is Bramley Bank and Duppas Hill.
Checking the roof from ground level
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Common roof problems in Spring Park
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. People normally call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damaged pots on the stack
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of All Saints, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
What to check before booking
- What exactly goes into their report
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?

Spring Park questions
Is Spring Park in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Spring Park as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Spring Park?
Typically it’s manageable with a little notice. Tell us what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Your policy document will say.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is frequently on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Spring Park runs like any other.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Find any records of previous roof work
