Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Shellingford
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. Common reasons to book are water coming in after the storm and damaged flat roof membrane, on ridges and hips, slate and tile slopes and flashings.
Being in a small place like Shellingford makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Why it is worth a survey now in Shellingford
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. In a small place like Shellingford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Shellingford
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Shellingford?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Shellingford?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Shellingford as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Our reports start from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. Repair costs aren’t part of the report.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. We will confirm the timing as you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it when booking and we will explain what’s needed.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we will record the rest.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.

What else we do in Shellingford
Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Check your policy for how to report damage
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like Shellingford, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Leaks and storm damage in Shellingford
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Take a building like Shellingford Church of England (Voluntary Aided) School: on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Faith, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
