Willesden Green questions
Is my home in Willesden Green listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover Willesden Green?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage, which you can pass to your insurer.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. The report follows by email.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Willesden Green
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: recent damage alongside any older defects, like nail fatigue on slates or eroded pointing. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey flashings, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and ridge tiles that have come loose.
In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. In Willesden Green, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. It is useful to know when the water appears and in what weather.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Willesden Green
Historic houses like Fenton House, about 2.5 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Willesden Green goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you look after a building such as Donnington Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near O2 Centre, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Willesden Green
To price your survey, we check:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What we need to know
A few details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a London conversion, the way into the roof space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. Where that’s the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Booking a survey

Advice
Useful tips for Willesden Green property owners
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Photograph the damage safely from below
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Willesden Green
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
What this survey can’t tell you
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- The outcome of a claim
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
