Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Bix
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey gutters and fascias, slate and tile slopes and flashings, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damage from fallen branches or debris and damaged gutters and fascias.
Being in a small place like Bix makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What a storm damage roof report doesn’t cover
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Negotiating a claim settlement
- Areas we can’t see safely
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
- Gutters and fascias
- Ridges and hips
- Flat roofs
Common roof problems in Bix
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
If you own a rental within reach of Henley-On-Thames station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
What to check before booking
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
How it works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Rural addresses near Bix can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Advice
Bix: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Bix?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Bix?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Bix is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from ground level or from windows. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level, and we’ll record the rest.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
Bix roofs and the weather
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. About 1.3 miles south lies Greys Court, a reminder of how long the area around Bix has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as Church of St James are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Bix is about 6 miles north of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. Surveys in Bix work the same way as everywhere we cover: a close look at whatever is safely visible, photos and a clear written report. Across Oxfordshire, we cover Bix. Reading is in our area too.

Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How big the roof is
- Height and safe access
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What to tell us when you contact us
Some details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
