About our storm damage roof report in Teddington
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We are frequently asked to look into loose or torn flashings and slipped or missing slates or tiles, on chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers typically exclude wear and tear. A careful look in Teddington 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.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Teddington
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.

What this survey cannot tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Negotiating a claim settlement
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.

Useful tips for Teddington property owners
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Teddington roofs and the weather
Historic houses like Strawberry Hill House, about 0.8 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Teddington goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Homes near green spaces like Bushy Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Anyone responsible for a site like St Mary's and St Peter's Church of England Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Teddington is about 5 miles west of Wimbledon, in Greater London. Whether the building in Teddington is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof. Across Greater London, we cover Teddington and the places around it. For surveys nearby, see our London page.
Surveys in TW11, TW12, TW2 and TW1 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Local streets include Station Road, High Street and Church Road, and we cover them all. With the A311 and A313 close by, Teddington is simple for us to get to for storm damage roof reports. We also cover Strawberry Hill (1 mile north), Fulwell (1 mile north-west), Hampton Hill (1 mile west), Ham (1 mile north-east) and Eel Pie Island (1 mile north). We also work in nearby towns such as London (11 miles north-east), City of Westminster (10 miles north-east), Marylebone (10 miles north-east), Kensington (8 miles north-east), St Pancras (12 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (13 miles north-east).

Common roof problems in Teddington
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
Look out for signs like these:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Bentall Centre, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What experience they bring
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What they will not be able to tell you
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a London area like Teddington, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Leave it or get it looked at?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is normally better. In Teddington, 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. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Questions from Teddington
Do you carry out roof surveys in Teddington?
Yes, Teddington is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Teddington?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. We’ll confirm the timing when booking.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we cannot predict the outcome.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
