About our storm damage roof report in Littlemore
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 are not loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. If you’ve noticed loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and flat roof edges peeled back, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a smaller place like Littlemore, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that’s a useful clue. Let us know when it happens when you get in touch. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What we’re asked to look at in Littlemore
A storm often finds a roof’s existing weak spots. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
For businesses in and around places like Templars Square, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.

Wind, rain and roofs in Littlemore
Historic houses such as Holywell Manor, about 2.7 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Littlemore goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Anyone responsible for a site like Emmanuel Christian School will know that a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. For landlords with property near Radley station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Littlemore
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.

Littlemore: your questions answered
Is my home in Littlemore listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Littlemore within the area you cover?
Yes. Littlemore is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes an hour or two at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. You’ll then get the report by email.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
There’s no single figure. Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies. Your policy document will say.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.

How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Homes around Littlemore often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
