How a storm damage roof report works in Tadmarton
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. If you’ve noticed broken or displaced guttering and loose or torn flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and slate and tile slopes alike.
In a village or hamlet like Tadmarton, older cottages and farmhouses often have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you’re thinking of an insurance claim. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Older walls and timbers hold water for a long time, so it’s worth finding the cause soon.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.

What else we do in Tadmarton
Wind, rain and roofs in Tadmarton
About 1.5 miles east lies Broughton Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Tadmarton has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.

For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
What we do, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as Tadmarton, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- 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.
- You receive the written report with photos.

FAQs for Tadmarton
Is Tadmarton within the area you cover?
Yes, Tadmarton is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Tadmarton?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Tadmarton is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Is this a RICS 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 and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
What we are asked to look at in Tadmarton
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Corroded nails on slate roofs, worn mortar on ridges and old flashings can all give way. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Damaged pots on the stack
If you let a flat or house near Banbury station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What exactly goes into their report
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
What happens if roof problems are left?
Once the storm has passed, damage that looked minor can let water in for months. Acting quickly normally means less damage overall. In a small place like Tadmarton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
