About our storm damage roof report in Britwell Salome
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. Typical surveys look at stains appearing after strong winds and roofs hit by falling trees, across flashings, flat roofs and ridges and hips.
Somewhere as small as Britwell Salome, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Storm damage roof reports in Britwell Salome: local notes
Historic houses such as Adwell House, about 4.3 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Britwell Salome goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
Take a building like Icknield Community College: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Britwell Salome, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

FAQs for Britwell Salome
Do you carry out roof surveys in Britwell Salome?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Britwell Salome is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Do you cover smaller places like Britwell Salome?
Yes. Britwell Salome is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
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.
Why get it checked now?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. In a place like Britwell Salome, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
