Why it’s worth a survey now in Shenington
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. Our report can then add a clear record. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shenington can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

How a storm damage roof report works in Shenington
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. 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. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. Typical surveys look at broken or displaced guttering and damage from fallen branches or debris, across flashings, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes.
Somewhere as small as Shenington, older roofs have often been repaired many times. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
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.

Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

Storm damage roof reports around Shenington
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. The wider area around Shenington has a long history of building, with Upton House about 1.9 miles north. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building like Shenington Church of England Primary 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 such as Church of Holy Trinity, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Somewhere like Shenington needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Check pets are kept safely away
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
