Storm damage roof report in Elvendon: what you get
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you are worried about slipped or missing slates or tiles and new damp or leaks inside, we can find out what’s behind it.
Roofs in small places like Elvendon 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, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.

Wind, rain and roofs in Elvendon
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. With Basildon Park about 2.1 miles south-west, Elvendon sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a building like The Oratory Preparatory School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Roof area
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
We confirm the price for the job before you book, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
When to book a survey in Elvendon
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We cannot say whether the decision will change.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Damaged ridges and hips
If you own a rental within reach of Goring & Streatley station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

The survey, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. In a small place like Elvendon, access is normally 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.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Let us know about parking near the property
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Elvendon
Do you cover Elvendon?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Elvendon as anywhere else.
How do I find out if my home in Elvendon is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Elvendon?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not usually covered. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. Your insurer decides the claim.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Damage left open lets in more rain. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Around Elvendon, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking.
