Storm damage roof report in Upton Park
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. Typical surveys look at slates and tiles blown off the roof and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, across slate and tile slopes, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. We look at what we’re given access to in Upton Park, inside and out. It helps to know when the water appears and in what weather.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It sets out what we found and the likely cause, alongside any photos you took yourself. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. Knowing what’s needed early gives you time to plan it calmly, rather than in a rush after a leak.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Upton Park

Leaks and storm damage in Upton Park
Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces frequently have Welsh slate roofs. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that cannot be seen from the pavement. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Historic houses like Eastbury Manor House, about 2.7 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Upton Park goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like St Edward's Catholic Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. Living close to West Ham Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

What else we do in Upton Park
Common roof problems in Upton Park
Storms do not only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damaged ridges and hips
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Stratford Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How soon the report will arrive
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. The survey usually takes an hour or two at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, let us know when you book.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
