Storm damage roof report in Turnham Green
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We survey slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias, and people most frequently book us about new damp or leaks inside and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian roofs have frequently been repaired many times. Telling wear from a one-off event matters, because insurers typically exclude wear and tear. A careful look in Turnham Green tells the two apart where the evidence allows. Photos and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Turnham Green
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Water coming in after the storm
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
For businesses in and around places like Livat Hammersmith, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

- What insurance they carry
- Their report turnaround times
The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a London area like Turnham Green, 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. We then look at whatever is safely visible from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- 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
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

FAQs for Turnham Green
Is my home in Turnham Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Turnham Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Turnham Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we will record the rest.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Wind, rain and roofs in Turnham Green
About 0.2 miles west lies Hogarth's House, a reminder of how long the area around Turnham Green has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Turnham Green is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you look after a building like The William Hogarth Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Take an older house close to St. Nicholas Church: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- A decision on your insurance claim
- Estimates of repair costs
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
