How a storm damage roof report works in North Weston
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you’ve noticed new damp or leaks inside and ridge tiles that have come loose, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like North Weston, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, particularly to an insurer. We look at everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it is worth finding the cause soon.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Storm damage roof reports around North Weston
About 3.9 miles south lies Adwell House, a reminder of how long the area around North Weston has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. Landlords with a home close to Haddenham & Thame Parkway station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
North Weston is about 2 miles west of Thame, in Oxfordshire. Surveys in North Weston work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. North Weston is one of the places in Oxfordshire we cover. Oxford is in our area too.

What we’re asked to look at in North Weston
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.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Water coming in after the storm
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
If you look after a building such as Lord Williams's School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like North Weston, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey

Questions from North Weston
Will you come out to North Weston?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is North Weston in the area you cover?
Yes, North Weston is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is this an asbestos survey?
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.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Why get it checked now?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it is better to know. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Older cottages and farmhouses around North Weston can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
