Storm damage roof report in Milton, Oxfordshire
Storm damage roof reports around Milton, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Roofs hit by falling trees
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Milton
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. 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 aren’t loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Typical surveys look at cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and new damp or leaks inside, across chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and flat roofs.
For a small place like Milton, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

What a storm damage roof report does not cover
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- A price for the repairs
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Milton
Do you cover Milton?
Yes, Milton is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Milton as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Milton within the area you cover?
Yes, Milton is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Milton
About 2.9 miles north-west lies Broughton Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Milton has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you own a rental within reach of Kings Sutton station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Evangelist, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Milton is about 4 miles south of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Surveys in Milton work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photographs and a written report. We cover towns and villages across Oxfordshire. Our Oxford page covers surveys nearby.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The roof’s overall size
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What we’re asked to look at in Milton
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Loose or torn flashings
If you look after a building such as The Warriner School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured for the work?
- How soon the report will arrive
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What they will not be able to tell you
What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Older rural homes like those around Milton can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Jot down any questions you want answered
