Towersey Storm Damage Roof Report
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Towersey, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
- Stains appearing after strong winds
Storm damage roof report in Towersey: what you get
High winds typically affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Where we also see signs of older wear, the report records that too. We survey flashings, gutters and fascias and flat roofs, and people most often book us about ridge tiles that have come loose and lead lifted at abutments.
Somewhere as small as Towersey, older roofs have often been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. The report says what was seen and what it points to. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
With the Standard Survey, you also get 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.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Towersey?
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. A written report with photos gives you something clear to pass on. The decision still rests with the insurer.
People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Water coming in after the storm
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Damaged pots on the stack
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Lord Williams's School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Why get it checked now?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. Those photos show the damage as it was. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Towersey: your questions answered
Do you cover Towersey?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Towersey is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Towersey?
Yes. Towersey is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. We can record the damage in our report.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but check your own wording.
How are storm damage reports priced?
A storm damage report starts from £150. Commercial and larger roofs are quoted on size. The report doesn’t include repair costs.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. The insurer may send a loss adjuster of its own.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The written report follows by email.
How it works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey typically takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Around Towersey, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to book

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
To price your survey, we look at:
- House, block, shop or office
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Wind, rain and roofs in Towersey
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. About 4.2 miles south-west lies Adwell House, a reminder of how long the area around Towersey has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often 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.
If you let a flat or house near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Take an older house close to Church of St Catherine: leaks on older roofs often start at lead flashings, valleys or around old chimney stacks.
Towersey is about 1 mile east of Thame, in Oxfordshire. We visit Towersey as part of our work across Oxfordshire, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Our area takes in places right across Oxfordshire. For surveys nearby, see our Oxford page.

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Slates can slip or blow off in a storm, particularly where the nails have corroded. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
