Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Uffington
We inspect the roof from wherever it can be seen safely: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there’s access, and the roof itself where that’s safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. If part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey ridges and hips, flat roofs and flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are holes or cracks caused by debris and slipped or missing slates or tiles.
Roofs in small places like Uffington often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. 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.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Uffington
Do you carry out roof surveys in Uffington?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Uffington is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Uffington?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. If it is safe, photograph the damage before it is covered. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
Do you act for me with my insurer?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it isn’t resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. For a village or hamlet like Uffington, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The roof’s overall size
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- The property’s address and postcode
- What made you get in touch
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
For a price for storm damage roof reports in Uffington, ring 07833 053749 or email us. The address, the type of property and what you’d like to know help us give you an accurate price.
DIY checks: what’s safe
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Uffington?
When you claim, your insurer may ask for evidence of the damage and its cause. An independent report gives you a clear record to send. The decision still rests with the insurer.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Water coming in after the storm
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Take a building like Uffington Church of England Primary School: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

- What happens after the report arrives

Leaks and storm damage in Uffington
Historic houses such as Ashdown House, about 4.8 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Uffington goes. 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. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself.
