Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Storm damage roof report in Bunkers Hill
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. 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. We survey chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged pots on the stack and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Somewhere as small as Bunkers Hill, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

What else we do in Bunkers Hill
Bunkers Hill questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bunkers Hill?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Bunkers Hill in the area you cover?
Yes, Bunkers Hill is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers typically exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Roof area
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- House, block, shop or office
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What’s prompted the survey
- When you need the report by
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the roof space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. In a place like Bunkers Hill, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What you get with us
- PI and public liability insurance
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help

Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Storm damage roof reports in Bunkers Hill: local notes
Blenheim Palace, about 2.3 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bunkers Hill. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If you live in an older home near Church of Holy Cross, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Landlords with a home close to Tackley station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. If you look after a building like Marlborough School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Roof by roof
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. Each area is photographed and described.
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. Our report notes recent damage and older defects.
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit normally takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Around Bunkers Hill, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
