Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Burcot
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We survey ridges and hips, flat roofs and flashings, and people most frequently book us about damaged gutters and fascias and roofs hit by falling trees.
Roofs in small places like Burcot frequently 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, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings
Flashings with older defects often fail in high winds. Our report separates fresh damage from older wear where we can.
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. We record any damage and where it is.
Common questions in Burcot
Will you come out to Burcot?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Burcot in the area you cover?
Yes, Burcot is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Stay off the roof. Photograph the damage from below or from a window. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we will explain what’s needed.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
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 use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Burcot
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
Common reasons to book include:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Abbey Woods Academy, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Will the report include photos?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
The survey, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit typically takes an hour or two for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Burcot, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Getting a price
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. 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 reports around Burcot
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. The wider area around Burcot has a long history of building, with Clifton Hampden Manor about 1.2 miles west. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Homes near green spaces such as Nuneham Courtenay can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Burcot, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use.
