Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Brize Norton
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We are often asked to look into roofs hit by falling trees and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, on gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and flat roofs.
Roofs in small places like Brize Norton often stand in the open, 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 written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Common roof problems in Brize Norton
Branches and trees frequently come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
If you look after a building such as Brize Norton Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What insurance they carry
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Brize Norton often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Common questions in Brize Norton
How do I find out if my home in Brize Norton is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Brize Norton?
Yes. Brize Norton 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 as you book.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Brize Norton?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
Why act early in Brize Norton
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. An independent report can follow. In a place like Brize Norton, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Wind, rain and roofs in Brize Norton
Historic houses such as Minster Lovell Hall, about 2.8 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Brize Norton goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Britius, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
