Storm damage roof report in Clanfield: what you get
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. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. Common reasons to book are slipped or missing slates or tiles and damaged gutters and fascias, on flat roofs, flashings and slate and tile slopes.
Roofs in small places like Clanfield 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.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Clanfield: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Clanfield?
Yes, we do. We work right 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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Clanfield?
Yes, Clanfield is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We cannot 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.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Clanfield can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there is access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Useful tips for Clanfield property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
What this survey can’t tell you
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
- Slate and tile slopes
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
Can I check my roof myself?
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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

Storm damage roof reports in Clanfield: local notes
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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Historic houses such as Kelmscott Manor, about 2.7 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Clanfield goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Stephen, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Clanfield CofE Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
