Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Bledington

Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.

About our storm damage roof report in Bledington
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. If you’re worried about lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, we can find out what’s behind it, on slate and tile slopes, flat roofs and chimney stacks alike.
In a village or hamlet like Bledington, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We check whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

What affects the price in Bledington
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- How big the roof is
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you’re not relying only on your own photos. For an older or listed building in a place like Bledington, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.

How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Bledington, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

When to book a survey in Bledington
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Problems we come across often include:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Lead lifted at abutments
If you own a rental within reach of Kingham station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.
What to check before booking
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What insurance they carry
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Storm damage roof reports in Bledington: local notes
Historic houses such as Chastleton House, about 4 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Bledington goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Leonard, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bledington Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
