About our storm damage roof report in Walton Manor
Our storm damage report starts from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. If you’re worried about damaged gutters and fascias and damaged pots on the stack, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Walton Manor, some roofs face open ground, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. A leak that only appears in certain weather frequently points to an exposed detail. It is useful to know when and where the water appears. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
You will need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Being in a smaller place like Walton Manor doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there’s access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
Arrange a survey
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

How the survey changes by roof type

On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. Damage is photographed and described.
Storm damage roof reports in Walton Manor: local notes
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’s detailed. About 1 mile south-east lies Holywell Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Walton Manor has been built on. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Oxford station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you look after a building such as St Aloysius' Catholic Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

- Damaged flat roof membrane

Trees in and around Oxford University Parks shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Will the report include photos?
- Their track record with similar roofs
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
