About our storm damage roof report in Tulse Hill
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. If you’ve noticed damage from fallen branches or debris and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. In Tulse Hill, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. Let us know when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
What we cannot see
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
Roofs we survey in Tulse Hill
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Surveys in Tulse Hill can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they frequently give the best view of a rear addition.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Wind, rain and roofs in Tulse Hill
Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. The wider area around Tulse Hill has a long history of building, with Kingswood House about 1.6 miles south-east. If your home is one of the older ones, 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 live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Trees in and around Belair Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you own a rental within reach of Tulse Hill station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Tulse Hill: your questions answered
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Tulse Hill?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
How do I find out if my home in Tulse Hill is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we can’t predict the outcome.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
High winds can loosen pots, cowls and aerials on stacks. The report notes any damage to the stack.
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
