Questions from Blewbury
Is Blewbury within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is Blewbury in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it isn’t 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.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Blewbury
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are lead lifted at abutments and damaged gutters and fascias.
Many homes in small places like Blewbury face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Blewbury
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. 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. The wider area around Blewbury has a long history of building, with Brightwell Manor about 4.1 miles north-east. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you let a flat or house near Didcot Parkway station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Anyone responsible for a site like Blewbury Endowed Church of England Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Blewbury is about 3 miles south of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Surveys in Blewbury work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Across Oxfordshire, we cover Blewbury. We also survey roofs in Oxford.

Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: 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 are asked to look at in Blewbury
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Before you book anyone

Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We check whether the damage is recent or older.
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. The report notes any damage to the stack.
What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Cottages and farmhouses around Blewbury often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work
