Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Tottenham Green
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. If you are worried about lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and broken or displaced guttering, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have frequently been repaired many times, 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 usually exclude wear and tear. That is as true in Tottenham Green as anywhere in London. A written record with photographs helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Tips that help
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- 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 is your record to use.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.
Leave it or get it looked at?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. Those photos show the damage as it was. Any roof job in Tottenham Green means planning around parking, neighbours and access. Knowing what’s needed early gives you time to plan it calmly, rather than in a rush after a leak.

What this survey can’t tell you
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- How your policy defines a storm
- Acting for you with the insurer
- The outcome of a claim
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
Getting in touch
We’ll normally ask about:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Storm damage roof reports in Tottenham Green: local notes
Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, frequently with Welsh slate roofs. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. In a house like that, shared stacks, party-wall upstands and lead flashings all need looking at as far as they can be seen. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. With Bruce Castle about 0.9 miles north, Tottenham Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If you let a flat or house near Seven Sisters station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you run a business near The Mall Wood Green, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. Take an older house close to Church of Holy Trinity: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey normally takes between one and two hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. For a visit in Tottenham Green, parking and access are the things to plan: 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 is 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 ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
