Storm damage roof report in Streatham Hill, Greater London
Not sure what state the roof is in? We carry out storm damage roof reports in Streatham Hill and across Greater London.
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- New damp or leaks inside
Why get it checked now?
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: failed flashings and blocked valley gutters can send water into more than one home. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Streatham Hill
- Prices that include VAT
- An independent view of the roof
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

About our storm damage roof report in Streatham Hill
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. So it matters whether the damage came from the storm or from a roof that was already worn. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems like corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. If you’re worried about slates and tiles blown off the roof and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In London, leaks often start somewhere hidden: a butterfly roof’s central valley gutter, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or a flat roof over a back addition. Whether you are tracing a leak or recording storm damage in Streatham Hill, those are among the first places to look. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Streatham Hill questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Streatham Hill?
Sometimes, yes. If Streatham Hill has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer, and a driveway is even better.
How do I find out if my home in Streatham Hill is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you work in Streatham Hill?
Yes. We cover Streatham Hill and the rest of Greater London. To book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Storm damage roof reports in Streatham Hill: local notes
Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, frequently with Welsh slate roofs. From the street you may see only a parapet, with a butterfly roof and a valley gutter behind it draining to the back. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. With Kingswood House about 1.9 miles east, Streatham Hill sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For businesses in and around places such as Southside Wandsworth, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Streatham Hill. Living close to Streatham Common is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

What we cannot see

- A decision on your insurance claim
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes

Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.
How the survey works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos. As for time on site, it normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so a visit in Streatham Hill moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. If other people live in the building, let us know who can let us into the shared parts.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
