Storm Damage Roof Report in Frilford Heath
We carry out storm damage roof reports in Frilford Heath and the rest of Oxfordshire. Surveys run on any day of the week.
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
What happens if roof problems are left?
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Frilford Heath
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. It’s a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It is not a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. Common reasons to book are damaged ridges and hips and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, on chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes.
Being in a small place like Frilford Heath makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: 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.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. Please include:

- Your timetable, like an exchange date

- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

- Flat roofs
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like Frilford Heath, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- 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.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Frilford Heath
Appleton Manor, about 2 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Frilford Heath. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, 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. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you let a flat or house near Radley station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. Take a building like Abingdon Preparatory School: water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
Frilford Heath is about 3 miles west of Abingdon-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. In Frilford Heath, as across Oxfordshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Our Oxfordshire coverage includes Frilford Heath and the places around it. Oxford is in our area too.

Useful tips for Frilford Heath property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Frilford Heath
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Loose or torn flashings
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- New damp or leaks inside
The streets around a church such as Church of St Lawrence are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

Common questions in Frilford Heath
How do I find out if my home in Frilford Heath is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Frilford Heath?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Frilford Heath is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
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.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That’s not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
