How a storm damage roof report works in Strawberry Hill
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey flashings, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias, and people most frequently book us about slates and tiles blown off the roof and damaged pots on the stack.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have frequently been repaired many times. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers usually exclude wear and tear. A careful look in Strawberry Hill 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.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What else we do in Strawberry Hill
Strawberry Hill: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Strawberry Hill?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Strawberry Hill in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Strawberry Hill as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Strawberry Hill?
Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You’ll then get the report by email.
What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Strawberry Hill we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, let us know who can let us into the shared parts.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

What happens if roof problems are left?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is normally better. In Strawberry Hill, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

Wind, rain and roofs in Strawberry Hill
About 0.1 miles south-west lies Strawberry Hill House, a reminder of how long the area around Strawberry Hill has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Trees in and around Marble Hill Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Bentall Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. For landlords with property near Strawberry Hill station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The size of the roof
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking.
What we need to know
These details help when you contact us:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Estimates of repair costs
- Areas we can’t see safely
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
- Flat roofs
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It’s your record to use.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Do not go up a ladder to look.
