When to book a survey in North Moreton
Gusts work at anything on a roof that’s loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Flat roof edges peeled back
If you own a rental within reach of Didcot Parkway station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Is VAT included in the price?
About our storm damage roof report in North Moreton
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. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Common reasons to book are loose or torn flashings and roofs hit by falling trees, across flashings, flat roofs and ridges and hips.
Somewhere as small as North Moreton, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We check what can be seen safely and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Photograph damage inside the house too

Store invoices and reports for any roof work. They can help show the roof was looked after.
How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Rural addresses near North Moreton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
How to book
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

North Moreton: your questions answered
Will you come out to North Moreton?
Yes. North Moreton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in North Moreton?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when you book.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in North Moreton
Historic houses such as Brightwell Manor, about 1.2 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around North Moreton goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. For site and facilities teams at buildings like South Moreton Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.
