Storm damage roof report in West Green: what you get
After a storm, it helps to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We’re frequently asked to look into slates and tiles blown off the roof and damaged flat roof membrane, on flashings, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks.
In London, leaks often start somewhere hidden: a butterfly roof’s central valley gutter, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or a flat roof over a back addition. For a leak or storm damage in West Green, those hidden details are where the inspection begins. Water from a hidden gutter can run along joists and show up a room or two away.
You receive the findings 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.

Common roof problems in West Green
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.
Problems we come across often include:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
If you live near a park such as Downhills Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
What to check before booking
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Is VAT included in the price?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. It is your record to use.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in West Green
Is West Green in the area you cover?
Yes, West Green is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in West Green?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Only from ground level or from windows. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Surveys in West Green 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, 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.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Let us know where we can park nearby

About 1.1 miles north-east lies Bruce Castle, a reminder of how long the area around West Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you run a business near The Mall Wood Green, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. If you live in an older home near St Philip the Apostle, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
