Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Fyfield
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey ridges and hips, chimney stacks and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged ridges and hips and broken or displaced guttering.
Many homes in small places like Fyfield face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Why get it checked now?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. That keeps a record of how it looked. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Around Fyfield, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- 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.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave side gates unlocked

Related advice
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Fyfield
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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. With Appleton Manor about 2.2 miles north-east, Fyfield sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as 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. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

FAQs for Fyfield
How do I find out if my home in Fyfield is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Fyfield?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We are not loss adjusters and don’t act for you with the insurer. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you look in the roof space?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
