Storm damage roof report in North Stoke: what you get
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. We don’t decide whether a storm met that test. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. The report includes photographs of each area of damage, and you decide what to send. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Typical surveys look at flat roof edges peeled back and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, on flat roofs, chimney stacks and flashings.
For a small place like North Stoke, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photographs of the water coming in, they help as well.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

For an older or listed building in a place like North Stoke, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a small place like North Stoke, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
Arrange a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in North Stoke
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Brightwell Manor, about 3.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around North Stoke. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Cholsey station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wallingford School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
North Stoke is about 6 miles south-east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Whether the building in North Stoke is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend.

North Stoke: your questions answered
Will you come out to North Stoke?
Yes, North Stoke is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in North Stoke?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Do not use a ladder or go onto the roof. Binoculars can help you see damage from below, and we’ll record the rest.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
When you need someone else
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up

Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Wind can pull the flashings away from a chimney. Loose flashings are recorded.
Flat roof coverings
Edge trims and laps are often where flat roof coverings start to peel back. We look at whether the damage is recent or older.
