Storm damage roof report in North Newington: what you get
High winds usually affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. If you’ve noticed damage from fallen branches or debris and ridge tiles that have come loose, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes alike.
Somewhere as small as North Newington, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. We look at whatever is safely visible and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- The outcome of a claim
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around North Newington, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
How to book
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.

What affects the price in North Newington
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The size of the roof
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
We’ll normally ask about:
- The address and postcode of the property
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
When to book a survey in North Newington
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. What happens next is up to the insurer.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
What to check before booking
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What insurance they carry
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What the survey won’t cover
Common questions in North Newington
Does a conservation area affect roof work in North Newington?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover smaller places like North Newington?
Yes, North Newington is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We are not loss adjusters, and we do not negotiate claims. We provide an independent record of the roof for you to send to your insurer.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details as you book.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we cannot predict the outcome.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
That is not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. We photograph each gap.
Chimney stacks
Pots, cowls and aerials on chimneys can be damaged or dislodged in a storm. The report notes any damage to the stack.

North Newington roofs and the weather
The wider area around North Newington has a long history of building, with Broughton Castle about 1 mile south. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently 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.
Landlords with a home close to Banbury station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Shop and office owners around Castle Quay Shopping Centre may find that a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.
