Storm Damage Roof Report in Willesden
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Willesden, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- New damp or leaks inside
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
How a storm damage roof report works in Willesden
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you’re worried about slipped or missing slates or tiles and damaged pots on the stack, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and hips, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes alike.
Water getting into a London home often comes from a detail you can’t see from the street: the valley gutter in a butterfly roof, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or the flat roof over a rear extension. For a leak or storm damage in Willesden, 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 can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
If you are unhappy with how your insurer handles the claim, you can complain to them first. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Don’t go up a ladder to look.

How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take an hour or two for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a visit in Willesden, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at whatever is safely visible from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- 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.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Leaks and storm damage in Willesden
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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. The wider area around Willesden has a long history of building, with Fenton House about 2.5 miles east. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Kensal Rise station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. If you look after a building like St Andrew and St Francis CofE Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Common questions in Willesden
How do I find out if my home in Willesden is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Willesden?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Willesden is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
There is no single figure. Many use gusts of about 55 mph, but each policy sets its own definition. Check your policy wording.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report is sent afterwards by email.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
