Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Broughton
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. If you’ve noticed slipped or missing slates or tiles and lead lifted at abutments, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and fascias, flat roofs and ridges and hips alike.
Being in a small place like Broughton makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

When to book a survey in Broughton
Gusts work at anything on a roof that is loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. People typically call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Storm damage roof reports around Broughton
The wider area around Broughton has a long history of building, with Broughton Castle about 0.3 miles south-west. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, 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. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Shop and office owners around Castle Quay Shopping Centre may find that a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. Landlords with a home close to Banbury station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.
Broughton is about 2 miles south-west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. From houses to flats and shops in Broughton, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Our Oxfordshire coverage includes Broughton. There is also a page for Oxford.

What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like Broughton, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. That keeps a record of how it looked. For an older or listed building in a place like Broughton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Broughton: your questions answered
Is my home in Broughton listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Broughton within the area you cover?
Yes, Broughton is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Broughton
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Broughton. For a price for a let property or a block, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Checking the roof from ground level
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
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.
When you need someone else
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Acting for you with the insurer
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.
