Storm damage roof report in Glympton: what you get
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We’re not loss adjusters and cannot tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. We’re often asked to look into stains appearing after strong winds and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, across gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
Many homes in small places like Glympton face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Questions from Glympton
Do you cover Glympton?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Glympton as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Glympton listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
There is no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is not normally covered. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. Your insurer decides the claim.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, alongside any photos you took yourself. For older village homes like those around Glympton, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Glympton
About 3.5 miles south lies Blenheim Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Glympton has been built on. 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. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Older roofs in small places like Glympton can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
