Storm damage roof report in Pusey
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. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We’re frequently asked to look into loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and damage from fallen branches or debris, on gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and ridges and hips.
Many homes in small places like Pusey face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Roof by roof
Slate roofs
After strong winds, we often see cracked and slipped slates. Each area is photographed and described.
Clay and concrete tiles
A missing tile lets rain reach the underlay. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
What a storm damage roof report does not cover
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Negotiating a claim settlement
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

Pusey roofs and the weather
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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Longworth House, about 2.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pusey. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take a building like Buckland Church of England Primary School: a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Pusey is about 6 miles north-west of Wantage, in Oxfordshire. In Pusey, as across Oxfordshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Our area takes in places right across Oxfordshire. For surveys nearby, see our Oxford page.

Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Pusey
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.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney.
Before you book anyone

- What insurance they carry
- What happens after the report arrives
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?

Checking the roof from ground level
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
FAQs for Pusey
How do I find out if my home in Pusey is listed?
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.
Will you come out to Pusey?
Yes, Pusey is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. Take photos from the ground first if it’s safe. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Leave it or get it looked at?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. Those photos show the damage as it was. Around Pusey, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
For a price for your roof in Pusey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a hamlet or village like Pusey, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
