Storm damage roof reports around St George in the East
The wider area around St George in the East has a long history of building, with Mansion House about 1.2 miles west. 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 the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
If you own a rental within reach of Shadwell station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Anyone responsible for a site like St Paul's Whitechapel Church of England Primary School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.

How a storm damage roof report works in St George in the East
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. If you’ve noticed slipped or missing slates or tiles and flat roof edges peeled back, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. We look at what we are given access to in St George in the East, inside and out. Tell us when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.

- Take photos of stains and damp inside

Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. We record which are damaged and where.
Flat roof coverings
Branches and debris can damage flat roofs or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. Where that’s the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Otherwise, the visit in St George in the East runs like any other.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Check we can get to the back of the property

- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in St George in the East?
Normally it’s manageable with a little notice. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we will work around them.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
