About our storm damage roof report in Bure Park
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. We survey chimney stacks, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias, and people most frequently book us about damaged ridges and hips and gaps where slates or tiles have gone.
In a smaller place like Bure Park, some roofs face open ground, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that is a useful clue. Tell us when it happens when you contact us. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Being in a smaller place like Bure Park doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Let us know about parking near the property
Booking a survey

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Bure Park
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Shop and office owners around Bicester Village may find that a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. For an older house near a landmark like Emmanuel Church Bicester, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

What a storm damage roof report does not cover
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- The outcome of a claim
- Areas we can’t see safely
- Acting for you with the insurer
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What this survey covers
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
- Flat roofs
- Slate and tile slopes
For landlords and managing agents
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
How we price storm damage roof reports
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What to let us know when you get in touch
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- What’s prompted the survey
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Common roof problems in Bure Park
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, with photographs.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Broken or displaced guttering
Take a building like Bure Park Primary School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
What to check before booking
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Bure Park: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bure Park?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Bure Park in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Bure Park as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. It doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
