Storm damage roof report in Nuneham Courtenay: what you get
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. Common reasons to book are damage from fallen branches or debris and lead lifted at abutments, on flashings, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
Being in a small place like Nuneham Courtenay makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us 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.
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 Nuneham Courtenay
About 2.3 miles south lies Clifton Hampden Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Nuneham Courtenay has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you run a business near Templars Square, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down. If you look after a building such as Marsh Baldon Church of England Controlled School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Nuneham Courtenay?
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Peter, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What happens after the report arrives
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Around Nuneham Courtenay, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Advice
Useful tips for Nuneham Courtenay property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
Questions from Nuneham Courtenay
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nuneham Courtenay?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Nuneham Courtenay within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
