Storm damage roof report in Netherton
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photographs, and what we think the likely cause is. It is yours to pass to your insurer. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We’re not loss adjusters, and we can’t tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you’re worried about torn or lifted flat roof coverings and ridge tiles that have come loose, we can find out what’s behind it, on flashings, flat roofs and chimney stacks alike.
In a village or hamlet like Netherton, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Netherton roofs and the weather
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. The wider area around Netherton has a long history of building, with Appleton Manor about 2 miles north-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
Take a building like John Blandy Primary School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. The streets around a church like Church of St Nicholas are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Netherton, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us where we can park nearby

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.

Do you cover Netherton?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Netherton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. It does not include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for those.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it as you book and we will explain what’s needed.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
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. Access is agreed with you when you book.
