Sprig's Alley roofs and the weather
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. 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. About 4.4 miles west lies Adwell House, a reminder of how long the area around Sprig's Alley has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Saunderton station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

How a storm damage roof report works in Sprig's Alley
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. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey ridges and hips, flashings and gutters and fascias, and common reasons people get in touch are broken or displaced guttering and lead lifted at abutments.
Many homes in small places like Sprig's Alley face open ground, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Questions from Sprig's Alley
Is Sprig's Alley within the area you cover?
Yes, Sprig's Alley is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Sprig's Alley?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, for you to give to your insurer.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when you book.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
What we can’t see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- The outcome of a claim
- A price for the repairs
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

What happens if roof problems are left?
If the damage is partly wear and tear, it’s better to know. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. Around Sprig's Alley, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.

Checking the roof from ground level
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Sprig's Alley, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Tell us where we can park nearby
