Wimbledon Park Storm Damage Roof Report
An independent record of roof damage after a storm in Wimbledon Park, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- New damp or leaks inside
Storm damage roof report in Wimbledon Park
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. Typical surveys look at loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and gutters pulled loose in the wind, across slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and chimney stacks.
In a London flat, water can travel some way before it shows, sometimes in a different flat from the one below the defect. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. We look at what we are given access to in Wimbledon Park, inside and out. Let us know when the water shows, and in what kind of weather.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Why act early in Wimbledon Park
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. London’s older roofs often have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Wimbledon Park
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 with less disruption.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Wimbledon Park
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Which survey package you book
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- How big the roof is
All our prices include VAT. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking.
Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- When you need the report by
- The property’s address and postcode
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.
How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so a visit in Wimbledon Park moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

DIY checks: what’s safe
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.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Wimbledon Park
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. If your home in Wimbledon Park is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Southside House, about 1.8 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wimbledon Park. 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 own a rental within reach of Earlsfield station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Southside Wandsworth, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. Take a building like Albemarle Primary School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles

Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Common questions in Wimbledon Park
Is my home in Wimbledon Park listed or in a conservation area?
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 Wimbledon Park?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Wimbledon Park is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
