Your questions about storm damage roof reports in South Weston
Does a conservation area affect roof work in South Weston?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is South Weston within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How are storm damage reports priced?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
How do I book a survey in South Weston?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
About our storm damage roof report in South Weston
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so you will need a roofer’s quote for that. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you’ve noticed damage from fallen branches or debris and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, flashings and ridges and hips alike.
Being in a small place like South Weston 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, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Surveys for landlords and agents in South Weston
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
Checking the roof from the ground
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What affects the price in South Weston
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
For a price for your roof in South Weston, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What we need to know
These details help when you contact us:
- When you need the report by
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like South Weston, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Leaks and storm damage in South Weston
The wider area around South Weston has a long history of building, with Adwell House about 0.9 miles north. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
The streets around a church such as St Lawrence are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Broken slates and slates that have slid out of place are common after a storm. Each area is photographed and described.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in South Weston
Falling trees and branches can damage roofs in high winds. The report shows what was hit and the damage caused, backed up with photos.
Problems we come across often include:
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Loose or torn flashings
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lewknor Church of England Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
