Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Surrey Quays
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. 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 we cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs and flashings, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damaged ridges and hips and damaged pots on the stack.
Water getting into a London home often comes from a detail you cannot see from the street: the valley gutter in a butterfly roof, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or the flat roof over a rear extension. For a leak or storm damage in Surrey Quays, those hidden details are where the inspection begins. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. 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.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Why act early in Surrey Quays
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Surrey Quays
Queen's House, about 1.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Surrey Quays. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have 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. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
The streets around a church like St Katharine with St Bartholomew are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. For businesses in and around places like Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. Homes near green spaces like Deptford Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Surrey Quays runs like any other.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Surrey Quays questions
Is Surrey Quays in the area you cover?
Yes, Surrey Quays is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Surrey Quays listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We are not loss adjusters and do not act for you with the insurer. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we cannot say how it will turn out.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects frequently fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge and hip tiles take the full force of the wind. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.
