How a storm damage roof report works in Sutton Wick
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. Typical surveys look at loose or broken chimney pots and cowls and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, on flat roofs, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks.
Roofs in small places like Sutton Wick often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Questions from Sutton Wick
Is Sutton Wick in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Sutton Wick as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Sutton Wick?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent 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 helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 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.
How we price storm damage roof reports
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The roof’s overall size
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us some details about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Sutton Wick
A few slipped slates can soon lead to wet timbers. Acting quickly usually means less damage overall. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Sutton Wick, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
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’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Sutton Wick

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Sutton Wick?
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
Living close to Albert Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.

How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Sutton Wick can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- 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 phone 07833 053749 or email us to find out.

Storm damage roof reports around Sutton Wick
About 4.2 miles east lies Clifton Hampden Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Sutton Wick 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 any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Older houses in the South East frequently 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.
Take a building like Drayton Community Primary School: a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. For landlords with property near Appleford station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
