Storm damage roof report in Little Coxwell: what you get
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. If you’re worried about holes or cracks caused by debris and slipped or missing slates or tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings, ridges and hips and gutters and fascias alike.
Somewhere as small as Little Coxwell, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. We check whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
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.

FAQs for Little Coxwell
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Little Coxwell?
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.
Is Little Coxwell in the area you cover?
Yes, Little Coxwell is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photos and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.

When to book a survey in Little Coxwell
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. People normally call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Water coming in after the storm
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Faringdon Community College, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether VAT is added on top

What a storm damage roof report does not cover

- Repair costs or quotes for the work

Useful tips for Little Coxwell property owners
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Storm damage roof reports in Little Coxwell: local notes
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have 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 is detailed. About 3.2 miles north-west lies Buscot Park, a reminder of how long the area around Little Coxwell has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Little Coxwell needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
