What happens on the day
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Around Sarsden, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- 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.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Advice
Storm damage roof report in Sarsden: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photos to give to your insurer. If you’re worried about torn or lifted flat roof coverings and broken or displaced guttering, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Sarsden makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Storm damage roof reports in Sarsden: local notes
The wider area around Sarsden has a long history of building, with Chastleton House about 4.3 miles north-west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you look after a building such as Chipping Norton School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. For landlords with property near Kingham station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Can I check my roof myself?
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Why get it checked now?
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Sarsden, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

- Acting for you with the insurer
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Areas we cannot see safely
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roofs we survey in Sarsden
- Ridges and hips
- Flat roofs
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
When to book a survey in Sarsden
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Roofs hit by falling trees
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
Take an older house close to Church of St James: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
Sarsden: your questions answered
Will you come out to Sarsden?
Yes. Sarsden is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is Sarsden in the area you cover?
Yes, Sarsden is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
What if the roof was already worn?
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 I check the roof after a storm?
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
