Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Stanton St John
Is Stanton St John within the area you cover?
Yes, Stanton St John is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Stanton St John in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. The report follows by email.
About our storm damage roof report in Stanton St John
Many policies treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but it varies by policy. Check your own policy wording. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We’re frequently asked to look into damaged flat roof membrane and stains appearing after strong winds, across ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flat roofs.
Many homes in small places like Stanton St John face open ground, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What we are asked to look at in Stanton St John
Insurers often want evidence of what has been damaged and why. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Damaged pots on the stack
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Lead lifted at abutments
For landlords with property near Islip station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

- Is VAT included in the price?

How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. In a hamlet or village like Stanton St John, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Arrange a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Before temporary repairs, photograph the damage from the ground if it’s safe. That keeps a record of how it looked. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

Leaks and storm damage in Stanton St John
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. About 4 miles south-west lies Holywell Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Stanton St John has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Trees in and around Katie and George Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Take an older house close to Church of St John the Baptist: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
The report is emailed to you, and you decide what to send to your insurer. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Acting for you with the insurer
- A price for the repairs
