What a storm damage roof report looks like in Little Milton
With Garsington Manor about 2.4 miles west, Little Milton sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Little Milton Church of England Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

How a storm damage roof report works in Little Milton
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are slates and tiles blown off the roof and roofs hit by falling trees.
Roofs in small places like Little Milton frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Little Milton?
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Lead lifted at abutments
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. We photograph each gap.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails frequently fail first. We look at whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Little Milton
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Milton can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What you get with us
- 20+ years’ experience

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.

Common questions in Little Milton
Will you come out to Little Milton?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Little Milton in the area you cover?
Yes, Little Milton is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Around Little Milton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered
