How we price storm damage roof reports
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- House, block, shop or office
- Which survey package you book
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- How big the roof is
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What to tell us when you get in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- What’s prompted the survey
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What kind of property and roof it is
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Fulbrook
High winds normally affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We survey slate and tile slopes, flashings and flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles and slates and tiles blown off the roof.
For a small place like Fulbrook, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s useful 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.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

What this survey cannot tell you
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Areas we cannot see safely
- A decision on your insurance claim
- Acting for you with the insurer
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips
- Flashings
- Gutters and fascias
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
What we do, step by step
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older rural homes like those around Fulbrook can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- 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’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Practical tips
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Check how your policy defines a storm
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our report can then add a clear record. In a place like Fulbrook, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Fulbrook questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fulbrook?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Fulbrook?
Yes, Fulbrook is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Storm damage roof reports in Fulbrook: local notes
With Minster Lovell Hall about 4.2 miles east, Fulbrook sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you own a rental within reach of Shipton station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. For an older house near a landmark like Church of Saint James the Great, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Anyone responsible for a site like Burford Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
