About our storm damage roof report in Emmington
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It is yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. We are often asked to look into damage from fallen branches or debris and slipped or missing slates or tiles, across ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and flat roofs.
Roofs in small places like Emmington often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.

What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Emmington often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Emmington
The wider area around Emmington has a long history of building, with Adwell House about 3 miles south-west. 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 any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Nicholas, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Landlords with a home close to Princes Risborough station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Anyone responsible for a site like Mill Lane Community Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

Why act early in Emmington

Emmington questions
Is Emmington within the area you cover?
Yes, Emmington is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is my home in Emmington listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
