About our storm damage roof report in Great Western Park
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. We survey flat roofs, flashings and slate and tile slopes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged pots on the stack and slipped or missing slates or tiles.
In a smaller place like Great Western Park, some roofs face open ground, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that is a useful clue. Tell us when it happens when you contact us. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Common questions in Great Western Park
Is Great Western Park in the area you cover?
Yes, Great Western Park is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Do you cover smaller places like Great Western Park?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from the ground first if it is safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report does not include repair costs.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we can’t predict the outcome.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Great Western Park?
Storms do not only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Loose or torn flashings
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
If you own a rental within reach of Didcot Parkway station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
What to check before booking
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
What affects the price in Great Western Park
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How big the roof is
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What to tell us when you get in touch
We will normally ask about:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or email us. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- The outcome of a claim
- Estimates of repair costs
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:

- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in

After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.

Storm damage roof reports around Great Western Park
Clifton Hampden Manor, about 4.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Great Western Park. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Older houses in the South East often 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as GEMS Didcot Primary Academy, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. The streets around a church such as Church of St Matthew are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
