How a storm damage roof report works in Weston-on-the-Green
After a storm, safety comes first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and do not climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. If you’re worried about slipped or missing slates or tiles and lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes alike.
In a village or hamlet like Weston-on-the-Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently have roofs that have been patched over many years. That makes it hard to tell new damage from old wear, which matters if you are thinking of an insurance claim. We look at everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Questions from Weston-on-the-Green
Is Weston-on-the-Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Weston-on-the-Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is my home in Weston-on-the-Green listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground, and we’ll record the rest.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. We note both storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older roofs in small places like Weston-on-the-Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
How we price storm damage roof reports
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Which survey package you book
- The size of the roof
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What’s prompted the survey
When you are ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.

Weston-on-the-Green roofs and the weather
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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Bicester Avenue, finding where water is getting in quickly keeps disruption down.
Weston-on-the-Green is about 4 miles south-west of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. If you are in Weston-on-the-Green, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. We cover towns and villages across Oxfordshire. We also survey roofs in Oxford.

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
Your insurer may send a loss adjuster to look at the damage. You will have your own independent record to refer to.
After a storm, look at the roof from the street or garden. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
Common roof problems in Weston-on-the-Green
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. What happens next is up to the insurer.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Water coming in after the storm
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
Landlords with a home close to Islip station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
