Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Aston Rowant
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. 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. We survey flashings, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias, and people most often book us about broken or displaced guttering and slates and tiles blown off the roof.
For a small place like Aston Rowant, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They help show the roof was in good order before a storm.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Aston Rowant
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. The wider area around Aston Rowant has a long history of building, with Adwell House about 2 miles west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Aston Rowant Church of England Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. For a village or hamlet like Aston Rowant, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.

Aston Rowant: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Aston Rowant?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover Aston Rowant?
Yes, Aston Rowant is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access as you book.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.

How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, often where nails have rusted. Our report notes moved slates and any sign of older corrosion.
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
When to book a survey in Aston Rowant
Landlords and building managers often need a written record after a storm. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Lead lifted at abutments
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
