About our storm damage roof report in Strood Green
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. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. We’re frequently asked to look into damaged gutters and fascias and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, on ridges and hips, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes.
Being in a small place like Strood Green makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
Where we can’t 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.

Common questions in Strood Green
How do I find out if my home in Strood Green 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, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Strood Green?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take an hour or two on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The report follows by email.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. 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. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Storm damage roof reports around Strood Green
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Historic houses such as Polesden Lacey, about 4.6 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Strood Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Homes near green spaces like Deepdene Terrace can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Anyone responsible for a site like North Downs Primary School will know that on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

How the survey changes by roof type

Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Strood Green
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly normally means less damage overall. Outbuildings and barns around Strood Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
