Common questions in Sutton Courtenay
How do I find out if my home in Sutton Courtenay is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Sutton Courtenay?
Yes. Sutton Courtenay is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Storm damage roof report in Sutton Courtenay
When a storm has damaged your roof, a written record can help you explain it to your insurer. We photograph the damage, describe it and note whether it fits storm damage, older wear or both. We aren’t loss adjusters, and we can’t say whether a claim will be paid. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you’ve noticed slates and tiles blown off the roof and new damp or leaks inside, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias alike.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Sutton Courtenay can let water in, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it is not always obvious where it starts. It is worth looking at the stack from outside and at the timbers beside it in the loft.
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.

Checking the roof from the ground
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Sutton Courtenay roofs and the weather
The wider area around Sutton Courtenay has a long history of building, with Clifton Hampden Manor about 3.2 miles east. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, 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. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sutton Courtenay Church of England Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near All Saints' Church, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. Landlords with a home close to Appleford station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

- Slate and tile slopes
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips
- Gutters and fascias
Tips that help
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How big the roof is
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Anything about access we should know
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Your timetable, like an exchange date

What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Homes around Sutton Courtenay often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
