Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Yiewsley
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Water coming in after the storm
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
Take an older house close to St Joseph the Worker & Dovetail Centre: leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
About our storm damage roof report in Yiewsley
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It is yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. We survey chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are slates and tiles blown off the roof and torn or lifted flat roof coverings.
In London, leaks often start somewhere hidden: 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 Yiewsley, 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.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Storm damage roof reports in Yiewsley: local notes
Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Northolt Manor, about 1.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Yiewsley. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Brookside Primary School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you run a business near The Chimes, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.
Yiewsley is about 2 miles north-east of Hayes, in Greater London. We carry out storm damage roof reports in Yiewsley for houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings. Yiewsley is one of the towns and villages in Greater London where we work. You can also see our page for London.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. It’s your record to use.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- A decision on your insurance claim
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Ridges and hips
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
- Gutters and fascias
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
How we price storm damage roof reports
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Roof area
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Height and safe access
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What to tell us when you get in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The address and postcode of the property
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
What you can safely check yourself
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so a visit in Yiewsley moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. If other people live in the building, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Yiewsley
Do you carry out roof surveys in Yiewsley?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Yiewsley is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Yiewsley?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is not typically covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from ground level or from windows. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We’re not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof, which you can pass to your insurer.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report does not include repair costs.
