Storm Damage Roof Report in Milton-under-Wychwood
We carry out storm damage roof reports in Milton-under-Wychwood and the rest of Oxfordshire. We survey on any day of the week.
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a hamlet or village like Milton-under-Wychwood, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Advice
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Milton-under-Wychwood
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It is not a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you’ve noticed loose or torn flashings and damaged flat roof membrane, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
For a small place like Milton-under-Wychwood, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. 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.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Milton-under-Wychwood: your questions answered
Is Milton-under-Wychwood in the area you cover?
Yes, Milton-under-Wychwood is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
How do I find out if my home in Milton-under-Wychwood is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report does not include repair costs.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so it is clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: 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.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Old flashings that were already loose can give way in a storm. We record what looks recent and what looks older.
Chimney stacks
Wind can pull the flashings away from a chimney. We photograph any we find.
Wind, rain and roofs in Milton-under-Wychwood
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wychwood Church of England Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. Landlords with a home close to Shipton station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
