Storm damage roof report in Blenheim
After a storm, it’s useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We are not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We survey flashings, flat roofs and ridges and hips, and people most often book us about flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
Somewhere as small as Blenheim, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
What we’re asked to look at in Blenheim
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, with photos.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Templars Square, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
What to check before booking

Common questions in Blenheim
Will you come out to Blenheim?
Yes, Blenheim is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Blenheim?
Yes, Blenheim is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
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.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Around Blenheim, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Blenheim
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. The wider area around Blenheim has a long history of building, with Garsington Manor about 0.5 miles south. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Radley station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
