Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Turville Heath
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. If you’re worried about damage from fallen branches or debris and gutters pulled loose in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes alike.
Many homes in small places like Turville Heath face open ground, 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Useful tips for Turville Heath property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
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. 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.
Wind, rain and roofs in Turville Heath
Historic houses like Stonor Park, about 1 mile south, show how far back building in the area around Turville Heath goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you’re not relying only on your own photos. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Turville Heath, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Turville Heath
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Turville Heath?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Turville Heath within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it’s clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
