Storm damage roof report in Temple Mills
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you are worried about flat roof edges peeled back and damaged gutters and fascias, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Many London homes are well over a century old and their roofs have been patched more than once, so a new leak can be the latest sign of wear rather than a single event. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers typically exclude wear and tear. A careful look in Temple Mills tells the two apart where the evidence allows. A written record with photographs helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Storm damage roof reports in Temple Mills: local notes
Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. About 1.6 miles west lies Sutton House, a reminder of how long the area around Temple Mills 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 the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you run a business near Westfield Stratford City, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. The streets around a church such as St Eleutherius are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

How we price storm damage roof reports
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The property’s address and postcode
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
Temple Mills questions
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Temple Mills?
Parking in Temple Mills, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Temple Mills?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access as you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Temple Mills
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Why us?
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Surveys seven days a week
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. From the street, a London terrace normally shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Temple Mills we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, let us know who can let us into the shared parts.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Advice

What we are asked to look at in Temple Mills
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Broken or displaced guttering
Anyone responsible for a site like Chobham Academy will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Their report turnaround times
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What experience they bring
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
