Why it’s worth a survey now in Tetsworth
Damage left open lets in more rain. That can add to the damage and make it harder to separate from the storm. A roofer should deal with emergency protection quickly. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Tetsworth, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why us?
- Surveys seven days a week
- 98% customer satisfaction

About our storm damage roof report in Tetsworth
Our storm damage report starts from £150. It is a written report with photos, sent by email. It isn’t a repair quote and does not include repair costs, so you’ll need a roofer’s quote for that. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. If you’ve noticed broken or displaced guttering and lead lifted at abutments, we can find out what’s behind it, on gutters and fascias, flashings and chimney stacks alike.
For a small place like Tetsworth, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It is useful to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photos of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Tetsworth
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Tetsworth?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Tetsworth within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you are still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we can’t predict the outcome.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
What does a storm damage report cost?
Our reports start from £150. Larger roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs are not part of the report.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Lifted flashings let rain run behind them into the roof. The report records the flashing and any damp inside.
Clay and concrete tiles
Broken or missing tiles leave the underlay exposed to rain. Each gap is recorded with a photo.
Checking the roof from ground level
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Wind, rain and roofs in Tetsworth
The wider area around Tetsworth has a long history of building, with Adwell House about 1.4 miles south. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Giles, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you look after a building such as Tetsworth Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. Landlords with a home close to Haddenham & Thame Parkway station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Tetsworth is about 3 miles south-west of Thame, in Oxfordshire.

Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there.

- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Write down when the storm hit and when you noticed damage
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of each area of damage. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Have overhanging branches looked at by a tree surgeon. They can damage the roof in high winds.
