About our storm damage roof report in St Pancras
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’ve noticed gutters pulled loose in the wind and flat roof edges peeled back, we can find out what’s behind it, on slate and tile slopes, flashings and flat roofs alike.
In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. We look at what we’re given access to in St Pancras, inside and out. It is useful to know when the water appears and in what weather.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Questions from St Pancras
Is parking a problem for a survey in St Pancras?
Parking in St Pancras, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Is my home in St Pancras listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is St Pancras in your area?
Yes. We cover St Pancras and the rest of Greater London. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it as you book and we will explain what’s needed.
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.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.

Storm damage roof reports around St Pancras
Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. If your home in St Pancras is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. About 0.9 miles south-east lies Dr Johnson's House, a reminder of how long the area around St Pancras has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For an older house near a landmark like Lumen United Reformed Church, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St George the Martyr Church of England Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Why it is worth a survey now in St Pancras
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, so you are not relying only on your own photos. 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.

Useful tips for St Pancras property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Keep records of roof work and surveys. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
Landlord and commercial surveys in St Pancras
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time.
The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In St Pancras, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in St Pancras
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Water coming in after the storm
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
For businesses in and around places like Brunswick Centre, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
