Surveys for landlords and agents in Charndon

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Charndon
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. Our report records both: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We give an honest view of what we see. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. Common reasons to book are water coming in after the storm and ridge tiles that have come loose, on flat roofs, flashings and chimney stacks.
Somewhere as small as Charndon, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:

- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Charndon
Will you come out to Charndon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Charndon?

How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Charndon?
Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
The survey, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a hamlet or village like Charndon, a postcode does not 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.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets in another room

Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Leaks and storm damage in Charndon
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently 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. With Claydon House about 3 miles east, Charndon sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Michael, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
