Common questions in Curbridge
Do you cover smaller places like Curbridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Curbridge in the area you cover?
Yes, Curbridge is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It depends on your policy. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Storm damage roof report in Curbridge: what you get
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We are frequently asked to look into torn or lifted flat roof coverings and loose or torn flashings, across flat roofs, flashings and chimney stacks.
For a small place like Curbridge, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Curbridge
Minster Lovell Hall, about 1.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Curbridge. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
Take an older house close to Church of St John the Baptist: water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Chimney stacks
Older stacks with worn pointing or cracked flaunching are more likely to suffer. We record both the storm damage and the older wear.
How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Curbridge often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Leave side gates unlocked

Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Take photos from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Curbridge?
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. Our report notes both the storm damage and any older wear.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Lead lifted at abutments
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Their report turnaround times
