Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Stratford
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 photos, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. We survey ridges and hips, flashings and chimney stacks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are broken or displaced guttering and flat roof edges peeled back.
In London, leaks often start somewhere hidden: the valley gutter in a butterfly roof, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or the flat roof over a rear extension. Whether you are tracing a leak or recording storm damage in Stratford, those are among the first places to look. Water from a hidden gutter can run along joists and show up a room or two away.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Chimney stacks
High winds can loosen pots, cowls and aerials on stacks. The report notes any damage to the stack.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Stratford
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so a visit in Stratford moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
How to book
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
What we are asked to look at in Stratford
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- New damp or leaks inside
- Flat roof edges peeled back
If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Stratford, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use, so it is worth knowing the roof’s condition.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
Stratford: your questions answered
Do you cover Stratford?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Stratford is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Stratford?
It rarely stops a survey, but it is worth planning. Tell us what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Only from the ground or from windows. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we will record the rest.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.
What if the roof was already worn?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Stratford?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when you book.
Stratford roofs and the weather
Historic houses such as Sutton House, about 2.1 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Stratford goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have Welsh slate roofs. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. In a house like that, shared stacks, party-wall upstands and lead flashings all need looking at as far as they can be seen. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St John the Evangelist, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you own a rental within reach of Stratford (London) station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
