Independent storm damage roof reports in Well Hall

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Well Hall

Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. You get a written report with photographs to give to your insurer. If you’ve noticed new damp or leaks inside and slipped or missing slates or tiles, we can find out what’s behind it.

In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows, sometimes in a different flat from the one below the defect. Tracing it back matters, both for dealing with the cause and for any insurance claim. In Well Hall, 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.

After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Well Hall

Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. The wider area around Well Hall has a long history of building, with Eltham Palace about 0.7 miles south. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.

If you live in an older home near St Barnabas, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. For businesses in and around places such as Lewisham Shopping Centre, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.

Honest limits

It’s useful to know what a survey will not do before you book:

  • The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
  • Whether your insurer will pay the claim
  • What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes

If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.

What we check

  • Flashings
  • Slate and tile slopes
  • Chimney stacks
  • Flat roofs
  • Ridges and hips
  • Gutters and fascias

Should I look at the roof myself first?

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

Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

Questions from Well Hall

Do you cover Well Hall?

Yes, Well Hall is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Well Hall as anywhere else.

Can parking be tricky for a visit in Well Hall?

London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.

Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?

No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.

How much is a storm damage roof report?

Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.

How long is the visit?

That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.

What do I do if water is coming in?

Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.

How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Well Hall?

Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.

What we are asked to look at in Well Hall

Landlords and building managers frequently need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.

People usually book a survey after spotting one of these:

  • Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
  • Slates and tiles blown off the roof
  • Broken or displaced guttering
  • Damaged flat roof membrane

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Gordon Primary School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the loft is part of the inspection
  • Is there a chance to talk the report through?
  • Whether VAT is added on top
  • Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?

What’s in a roof survey

The survey, step by step

Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Surveys in Well Hall can be booked for any day of the week. London parking is frequently by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they frequently give the best view of a rear addition.

  1. You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
  2. We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
  3. The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
  4. We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
  5. The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.

Before the survey

  • Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
  • Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
  • Point out any leaks or damp patches
