The survey, step by step

- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.

Storm damage roof report in Stonor: what you get
High winds normally affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We’re often asked to look into ridge tiles that have come loose and water coming in after the storm, on ridges and hips, flashings and slate and tile slopes.
Being in a small place like Stonor makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned in advance. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
With the Standard Survey, you also get 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 look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Ridge and hip tiles
Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. We photograph and describe the damage.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. Outbuildings and barns around Stonor are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Wind, rain and roofs in Stonor
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. Historic houses like Stonor Park, about 0.5 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Stonor goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Pishill Church, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Stonor: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Stonor is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Stonor in the area you cover?
Yes, Stonor is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Stonor as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details as you book.
What if the roof was already worn?
Insurers usually exclude wear and tear. Our report gives an honest view of what’s recent damage and what’s older wear. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What affects the price in Stonor
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- What made you get in touch
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
