Storm damage roof report in Tubney
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. We record what the roof shows about the damage and its likely cause. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. Typical surveys look at holes or cracks caused by debris and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, on chimney stacks, flat roofs and flashings.
For a small place like Tubney, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. It’s 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.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Leaks and storm damage in Tubney
With Appleton Manor about 1.6 miles north, Tubney sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently 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. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you look after a building such as Abingdon Preparatory School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. If you live in an older home near Church of St Lawrence, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Around Tubney, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.

Related advice
Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. We record any damage and where it is.
Useful tips for Tubney property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it’s safe to do so
- Get a roofer to make the roof safe if needed
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Take photos from ground level or a window, never by climbing
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
Common questions in Tubney
Do you carry out roof surveys in Tubney?
Yes, Tubney is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you cover smaller places like Tubney?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Record the date and any damage inside as well.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
The decision is your insurer’s, not ours. Our report records what is damaged, with photos, and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.

Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
