Storm damage roof report in Woollensbrook
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. Typical surveys look at loose or torn flashings and slipped or missing slates or tiles, on gutters and fascias, flat roofs and flashings.
For a small place like Woollensbrook, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Common questions in Woollensbrook
Is Woollensbrook within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you cover Woollensbrook?
Yes, Woollensbrook is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Woollensbrook as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We’re 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.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Woollensbrook, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Why us?
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Package prices that include VAT
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Woollensbrook, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Arrange a survey

Wind, rain and roofs in Woollensbrook
There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Living close to Barclay Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Take a building like Westfield Community Primary School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Catherine & St Paul, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
