Storm damage roof report in Tottenham Hale, Greater London
Get a clear view of the roof at a property in Tottenham Hale. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damaged gutters and fascias
How it works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. From the street, a London terrace typically shows only its front slope or parapet, so a visit in Tottenham Hale moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets in another room
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Storm damage roof report in Tottenham Hale
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: 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. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. We survey flashings, flat roofs and gutters and fascias, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damage from fallen branches or debris and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have often been repaired many times. Insurers typically exclude wear and tear, so it’s useful to know whether damage is old or new. That’s as true in Tottenham Hale as anywhere in London. A written record with photos helps you explain what was found to whoever deals with it next.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Common questions in Tottenham Hale
How do I find out if my home in Tottenham Hale is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Tottenham Hale?
It rarely stops a survey, but it is worth planning. Tell us what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It depends on your policy. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.

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. Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have Welsh slate roofs. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. If your home in Tottenham Hale is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.

Why act early in Tottenham Hale
It is useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What you get with us

Checking the roof from ground level
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
