About our storm damage roof report in Goosey

What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Common reasons to book are damaged gutters and fascias and water coming in after the storm, across chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias.

Roofs in small places like Goosey frequently 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 record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.

If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Wind, rain and roofs in Goosey

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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.

If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of All Saints, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.

The survey, step by step

Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Goosey, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.

  1. First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
  2. We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
  3. We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
  4. The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
  5. We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.

Before we arrive

  • If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
  • Point out any leaks or damp patches
  • Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Can I check my roof myself?

Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.

A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

Goosey: your questions answered

Is my home in Goosey listed or in a conservation area?

The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.

Do you cover Goosey?

Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Goosey is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.

How are storm damage reports priced?

A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.

Do you look in the roof space?

If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.

Can you survey at the weekend?

We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Will you fly a drone over my roof?

Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.

What’s the best way to book?

The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

What we’re asked to look at in Goosey

Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.

People usually book a survey after spotting something like this:

  • Damaged pots on the stack
  • Flat roof edges peeled back
  • Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
  • Ridge tiles that have come loose

In and around Goosey, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.
