How a storm damage roof report works in Sudbury Hill
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. If you are worried about damaged gutters and fascias and damage from fallen branches or debris, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and hips, flashings and chimney stacks alike.
In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. We look at what we are given access to in Sudbury Hill, inside and out. It’s useful to know when the water appears and in what weather.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Sudbury Hill roofs and the weather
Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Sudbury Hill is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. About 2.2 miles west lies Northolt Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Sudbury 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, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Sudbury & Harrow Road station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Living close to Preston Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Andrew, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Sudbury Hill questions
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Sudbury Hill?
It can be, so it helps to let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
How do I find out if my home in Sudbury Hill is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Surveys in Sudbury Hill can be booked for any day of the week. London parking is frequently by permit or pay-and-display, so it is useful to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they frequently give the best view of a rear addition.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it is 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
How to book
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. It’s your record to use.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
