Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Stanmore
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We’re often asked to look into damage from fallen branches or debris and slates and tiles blown off the roof, on flashings, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once. Insurers normally exclude wear and tear, so it is useful to know whether damage is old or new. A careful look in Stanmore tells the two apart where the evidence allows. A written record with photos helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Stanmore roofs and the weather
Headstone Manor, about 2.5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stanmore. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Stanmore is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Anyone responsible for a site like Whitchurch Primary School & Nursery 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. Homes near green spaces such as Canons Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. Take an older house close to Church of St John: leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Surveys in Stanmore can be booked for any day of the week. 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.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Advice
Checking the roof from the ground
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
FAQs for Stanmore
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Stanmore?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Stanmore is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
What does a storm damage report cost?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Check your policy wording.
Practical tips
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Why act early in Stanmore
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. We record storm damage and older defects, so there are no surprises later. 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 small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
