Our storm damage roof report service in Oxfordshire

Most policies do not cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. How the policy applies is for your insurer to decide. We survey gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are slates and tiles blown off the roof and water coming in after the storm.

After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit.

  1. We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
  2. We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
  3. Each area of damage is photographed and described.
  4. The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
  5. We send you the report by email for your insurer.

Leaks and storm damage across Oxfordshire

After a storm, owners across Oxfordshire want a clear record of what’s been damaged, so the report can separate fresh damage from older wear where the evidence allows. Any claim is the insurer’s decision.

Autumn and winter storms across the South East find any loose slate, tile or ridge. Ridges, verges and flashings in Oxfordshire are where it usually shows.

Oxford: Historic houses such as Holywell Manor, about 0.8 miles north-west, show how far back building around Oxford goes. On older roofs nearby, leaks often trace back to lead flashings, valleys and gutters. Take a building like East Oxford Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Roof by roof

Clay and concrete tiles

A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. Each gap is recorded with a photo.

Flat roof coverings

Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. We record what we find.

Why act early?

A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is typically better.

Before you book any surveyor

  • How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
  • How much experience they have with roofs like yours
  • How soon the report will arrive
  • If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

What you can safely check yourself

It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.

A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Oxfordshire

For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.

Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports

To price your survey, we look at:

  • Height and safe access
  • Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
  • The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
  • Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages

A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the exact price before you book.

Booking your survey

The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:

  • Your timetable, such as an exchange date
  • Where water is showing inside, if it is
  • How the loft is reached, if there is one
  • What kind of property and roof it is

Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.

Oxfordshire: your questions answered

Will my insurer pay for an old roof?

Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.

How do I book a survey in Oxfordshire?

The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Which days do you carry out surveys?

Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.

Do you work in Oxfordshire?

Yes. We carry out storm damage roof reports in Oxfordshire, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.

Are you loss adjusters?

No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.

How long does the survey take?

Expect it to take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
