- Slipped or missing slates or tiles

What we do, step by step
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 record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Madley Park is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- 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.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.
Advice
Storm damage roof report in Madley 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. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. We survey ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes, and people most often book us about ridge tiles that have come loose and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
In a smaller place like Madley 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’s a useful clue. Tell us when it happens when you contact us. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Madley Park
Is Madley Park within the area you cover?
Yes. Madley Park is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is my home in Madley Park listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when you book.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Leaks and storm damage in Madley Park
With Minster Lovell Hall about 2.9 miles west, Madley Park sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. 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 landlords with property near Combe station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. Take an older house close to Church of Holy Trinity: old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. If that does not resolve it, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.

What we look for on each type of roof
Ridge and hip tiles
Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. Each one is recorded with photos.
Lead flashings
When flashings lift, water can get behind them. We note where this has happened and any damp inside.
