Burdrop Storm Damage Roof Report
A careful look at the roof at your property in Burdrop, and put it all in a report with photographs.
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
How a storm damage roof report works in Burdrop
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you’ve noticed cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and roofs hit by falling trees, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Burdrop, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Roof area
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. In a small place like Burdrop, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Advice
Leaks and storm damage in Burdrop
The wider area around Burdrop has a long history of building, with Broughton Castle about 3.8 miles east. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of Holy Trinity, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Burdrop is about 6 miles west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Surveys in Burdrop work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful look at what can be seen safely, photos and a clear written report. We cover towns and villages across Oxfordshire. There’s also a page for Oxford.

FAQs for Burdrop
Is Burdrop in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Burdrop is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Burdrop?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it is safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs are not included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
