Storm damage roof report in Wallington: what you get
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It doesn’t price the repairs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you’ve noticed damaged pots on the stack and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Wallington can let water in, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it isn’t always obvious where it starts. It’s worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

When to book a survey in Wallington
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
If you look after a building such as Wykeham House School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Before you book anyone
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. With binoculars, you can frequently spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Questions from Wallington
How do I find out if my home in Wallington is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Wallington?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
How many surveys have you done?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How do I book a survey in Wallington?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when you book.
Storm damage roof reports around Wallington
Wallington is within about 1 mile of the coast, where storms can bring strong gusts off the sea. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies, and the insurer decides the claim. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.

For a survey in Wallington, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- You let us know 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.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
