About our storm damage roof report in Wood Green
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. Common reasons to book are flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, across flat roofs, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias.
In London, leaks frequently start somewhere hidden: the valley gutter in a butterfly roof, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or the flat roof over a rear extension. Whether you are tracing a leak or recording storm damage in Wood Green, those are among the first places to look. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. Damage is photographed and described.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails frequently fail first. We look at whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.

Practical tips
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It sets out what is damaged, the likely cause and any signs of older wear. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
What we’re asked to look at in Wood Green
Landlords and building managers often 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 something like this:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
Landlords with a home close to Alexandra Palace station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Their insurance cover
What happens on the day
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In Wood Green, as in much of London, a good many properties are flats or terraces without side access, so the back of the roof is frequently seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Advice
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Wood Green
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Wood 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.
Is Wood Green in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Wood Green is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for those.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we cannot predict the outcome.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Wood Green
The wider area around Wood Green has a long history of building, with Bruce Castle about 1.4 miles east. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, 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. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For businesses in and around places like The Mall Wood Green, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. If you live near a park like Woodside Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
