Storm damage roof report in Strand-on-the-Green
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. Typical surveys look at water coming in after the storm and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, on flat roofs, gutters and fascias and flashings.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once, so a new leak can be the latest sign of wear rather than a single event. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers typically exclude wear and tear. A careful look in Strand-on-the-Green tells the two apart where the evidence allows. Photographs and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

When to book a survey in Strand-on-the-Green
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged pots on the stack
If you live near a park such as Kew Green, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
What to check before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Their insurance cover
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it’s useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Leaks and storm damage in Strand-on-the-Green
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Strand-on-the-Green is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Historic houses such as Kew Palace, about 0.7 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Strand-on-the-Green goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently 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.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. London’s older roofs often have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
