The survey, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a village or hamlet like Tiddington, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photographs.
Before we arrive

- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Advice
Storm damage roof report in Tiddington
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We survey flashings, slate and tile slopes and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind and new damp or leaks inside.
Roofs in small places like Tiddington often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. 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.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Tiddington questions
Is my home in Tiddington listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Tiddington within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Only from the ground or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
A roofer should handle temporary protection. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
What we cannot see
A survey is a careful look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- A decision on your insurance claim
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flashings
- Flat roofs
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips
- Slate and tile slopes
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Do not go onto the roof to take pictures
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.

Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. We photograph and describe the damage.
Storm damage roof reports in Tiddington: local notes
With Adwell House about 4.5 miles south-east, Tiddington sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, 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. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed.
Take an older house close to Church of St Helen: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
Tiddington is about 4 miles west of Thame, in Oxfordshire. Wherever you are in Tiddington, we can come and survey your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Across Oxfordshire, we cover Tiddington and the places around it. Our Oxford page covers surveys nearby.

Why act early in Tiddington
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. We record storm damage and older defects, so there are no surprises later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tiddington can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
