Do you need a storm damage roof report in Steeple Aston?
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
Landlords with a home close to Heyford station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Storm damage roof report in Steeple Aston
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We’re often asked to look into new damp or leaks inside and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, across chimney stacks, slate and tile slopes and ridges and hips.
Somewhere as small as Steeple Aston, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We look at what can safely be seen and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Leaks and storm damage in Steeple Aston
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Anyone responsible for a site like Dr Radcliffe's Church of England Primary School will know that water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record alongside theirs.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. Branches can hit or scrape the roof in a storm.
What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Steeple Aston, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We look at whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.

Common questions in Steeple Aston
Do you cover Steeple Aston?
Yes, Steeple Aston is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Steeple Aston?
Yes. Steeple Aston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
Only your insurer can decide that. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you need to get into 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 can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
