About our storm damage roof report in Twickenham
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. You get a written report with photographs to give to your insurer. We survey ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are stains appearing after strong winds and roofs hit by falling trees.
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 typically exclude wear and tear. That is as true in Twickenham as anywhere in London. Photographs and a written account give you something specific to show an insurer, a landlord or a roofer.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Storm damage roof reports around Twickenham
About 0.5 miles east lies Richmond House, a reminder of how long the area around Twickenham has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Landlords with a home close to Twickenham station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Living close to Marble Hill Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.

Questions from Twickenham
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Twickenham?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Twickenham?
Sometimes, yes. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well, and a driveway is even better.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when you book.
Do you work in Twickenham?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Twickenham.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report does not include repair costs.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
Honest limits
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- How your policy defines a storm
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim

How the survey works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. In Twickenham, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is frequently by permit or pay-and-display, so it is useful to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.

- 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.

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Broken slates and slates that have slid out of place are common after a storm. Each area is photographed and described.
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
When to book a survey in Twickenham
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. What happens next is up to the insurer.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Roofs hit by falling trees
For businesses in and around places such as Treaty Centre, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
Questions to ask before you book
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Are they insured for the work?

What you can safely check yourself

After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
