How a storm damage roof report works in Littleworth
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. It is yours to pass to your insurer. 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. We survey ridges and hips, chimney stacks and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are ridge tiles that have come loose and lead lifted at abutments.
Many homes in small places like Littleworth face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book.
Leaks and storm damage in Littleworth
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. The wider area around Littleworth has a long history of building, with Garsington Manor about 2.3 miles south. 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.
The streets around a church such as The Granary Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. For businesses in and around places like Templars Square, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. Trees in and around Shotover Country Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We check whether the damage is recent or older.
The survey, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Rural addresses near Littleworth can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Check we can get to the back of the property
How to book
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, tell us about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
FAQs for Littleworth
Will you come out to Littleworth?
Yes, Littleworth is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you cover Littleworth?
Yes, Littleworth is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
What does a storm damage report cost?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Start by complaining to the insurer. If it isn’t 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.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we don’t negotiate claims. We give you an independent report of the damage for you to send to your insurer.
Useful tips for Littleworth property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
What this survey can’t tell you
It’s useful to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Estimates of repair costs
