What a storm damage roof report looks like in Nuffield
With Greys Court about 4.2 miles south-east, Nuffield sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Nuffield is about 8 miles north-west of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. Whether the building in Nuffield is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed. Nuffield is one of the places in Oxfordshire we cover for storm damage roof reports. For surveys nearby, see our Reading page.

About our storm damage roof report in Nuffield
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and cannot say whether a claim will be paid. Common reasons to book are slipped or missing slates or tiles and new damp or leaks inside, on flat roofs, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes.
For a small place like Nuffield, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere as small as Nuffield, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photos for you to share with your insurer.

Why get it checked now?
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Getting it recorded and repaired sooner is usually better. In a small place like Nuffield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: 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.
Why book with us
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- Surveys on weekdays and at weekends
- An independent view of the roof
- Plain-English reports with photos

Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.

What we are asked to look at in Nuffield
Insurers frequently want evidence of what has been damaged and why. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. Your insurer still makes the decision.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Stains appearing after strong winds
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of the Holy Trinity, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
