Questions from Brightwell Baldwin
Do you cover smaller places like Brightwell Baldwin?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Brightwell Baldwin?
Yes, Brightwell Baldwin is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies do not cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Brightwell Baldwin
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey flashings, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about broken or displaced guttering and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks.
Being in a small place like Brightwell Baldwin makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Brightwell Baldwin
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
How the survey works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere as small as Brightwell Baldwin, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
Getting a price
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.

What affects the price in Brightwell Baldwin
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Roof area
- Which survey package you book
- House, block, shop or office
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- When you need the report by
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Storm damage roof reports in Brightwell Baldwin: local notes
About 4 miles north-east lies Adwell House, a reminder of how long the area around Brightwell Baldwin has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
If you look after a building such as Icknield Community College, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Brightwell Baldwin
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is normally better. For an older or listed building in a place like Brightwell Baldwin, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Brightwell Baldwin
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
We are often asked to look at:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Water coming in after the storm
If you live in an older home near Church of St Bartholomew, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
What to check before booking
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What insurance they carry
- Whether you get a written report with photos
