About our storm damage roof report in Bodicote
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It is yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. We survey flat roofs, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damaged flat roof membrane and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
Around Bodicote, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it is not always obvious where it starts. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What this survey can’t tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Bodicote
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Damaged pots on the stack
Landlords with a home close to Banbury station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Storm damage roof reports around Bodicote
About 2.9 miles west lies Broughton Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Bodicote has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have 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.
If you live near a park such as People's Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you run a business near Castle Quay Shopping Centre, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.

Why get it checked now?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Homes in smaller places like Bodicote can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.

What we do, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a survey in Bodicote, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Advice
Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Common questions in Bodicote
Is Bodicote within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bodicote?
Yes, Bodicote is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we can’t predict the outcome.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
