- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Loose or torn flashings

The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Somewhere as small as Aston Tirrold, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
How to prepare
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Tell us about parking before the day
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
How to book
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

About our storm damage roof report in Aston Tirrold
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. If you’ve noticed water coming in after the storm and slates and tiles blown off the roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Aston Tirrold, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. We check what can safely be seen and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

What this survey can’t tell you
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- How your policy defines a storm
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- A decision on your insurance claim

When to book a survey in Aston Tirrold
A storm frequently 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 often lead to a survey include:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged flat roof membrane
If you own a rental within reach of Cholsey station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What experience they bring
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
What happens if roof problems are left?
It helps to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. For an older or listed building in a place like Aston Tirrold, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
What you get with us
- 20+ years’ experience
- Prices that include VAT
- An independent view of the roof

Aston Tirrold questions
Do you cover Aston Tirrold?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Will you come out to Aston Tirrold?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details as you book.
Leaks and storm damage in Aston Tirrold
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. With Brightwell Manor about 3.3 miles north-east, Aston Tirrold sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Michael are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
