Why get it checked now?
Many policies expect damage to be reported promptly. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. In a small place like Wendlebury, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT.

Storm damage roof report in Wendlebury
A storm damage roof report is priced 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. What you get is an independent record of the damage and what seems to have caused it. We survey flashings, slate and tile slopes and gutters and fascias, and people most often book us about new damp or leaks inside and slates and tiles blown off the roof.
Being in a small place like Wendlebury makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photographs. As for time on site, it normally takes an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Wendlebury can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- We inspect the roof from safe viewpoints and from the loft where there is 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.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Advice
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Wendlebury?
Strong winds lift loose or poorly fixed slates and tiles, ridge pieces and flashings. Rain can then blow in where slates or tiles have gone. People typically call us after a storm, once they’ve noticed damage or a leak.
Common reasons to book include:
- Loose or torn flashings
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Water coming in after the storm
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Giles, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Wendlebury
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The property’s address and postcode
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- Look at what your policy says about wear and tear
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
The insurer might appoint a loss adjuster. You’ll have your own independent record to refer to.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Wind, rain and roofs in Wendlebury
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
For businesses in and around places like Bicester Avenue, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. For landlords with property near Bicester Village station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

FAQs for Wendlebury
Do you cover smaller places like Wendlebury?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Wendlebury?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Wendlebury is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
How do I book a survey in Wendlebury?

Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
