About our storm damage roof report in Stanton Harcourt
After a storm, it is useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we cannot say whether a claim will be paid. What we give you is an independent record of the roof. We’re often asked to look into slipped or missing slates or tiles and stains appearing after strong winds, across slate and tile slopes, ridges and hips and chimney stacks.
For a small place like Stanton Harcourt, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What we do, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Stanton Harcourt, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Honest limits
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- The work of a loss adjuster appointed by your insurer
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.

Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we cannot say how it will turn out.

Storm damage roof reports in Stanton Harcourt: local notes
About 3.2 miles south-east lies Appleton Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Stanton Harcourt has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stanton Harcourt CofE Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot.

When to book a survey in Stanton Harcourt
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
Take an older house close to Church of St Michael: leaks on older roofs frequently start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
