About our storm damage roof report in Baulking
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’s yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips, and common reasons people get in touch are water coming in after the storm and roofs hit by falling trees.
Roofs in small places like Baulking often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
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.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Baulking?
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Damaged flat roof membrane
Whatever the street in Baulking, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.
Before booking anyone
- 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
- Their report turnaround times
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles
A lifted ridge tile can let water into the roof. Each one is recorded with photos.
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. We photograph each gap.
Baulking roofs and the weather
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. 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.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Baulking is about 5 miles west of Wantage, in Oxfordshire. From houses to flats and shops in Baulking, we can survey the roof. We cover towns and villages across Oxfordshire, large and small. We also survey roofs in Oxford.

What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
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, as it helps us focus the survey.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:

- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
What to let us know when you get in touch
These details help when you contact us:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work

Baulking: your questions answered
Do you cover Baulking?
Yes, Baulking is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you cover smaller places like Baulking?
Yes. Baulking is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that does not resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as Baulking, 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.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
