Storm damage roof report in Wigginton
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Slates and tiles slip or blow off, ridge and hip tiles lift, flashings pull away and flat roof coverings can tear. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are flat roof edges peeled back and loose or torn flashings.
Roofs in small places like Wigginton often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

FAQs for Wigginton
Is my home in Wigginton listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s 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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wigginton?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Wigginton is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
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. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. With binoculars, you can often spot problems without climbing. Don’t go up a ladder to look.
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The roof’s overall size
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The shape of the roof and its details
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we’ll tell you which fits.
Getting in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Around Wigginton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- The damage is recorded with photographs, area by area.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Advice
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Wigginton
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. The report can be shared with owners, tenants or insurers.
Problems we come across often include:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Slates and tiles blown off the roof
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of Saint Giles, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What insurance they carry
- What happens after the report arrives
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge and hip tiles take the full force of the wind. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Chimney stacks
Wind can pull the flashings away from a chimney. Loose flashings are recorded.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Wigginton
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. With Broughton Castle about 3.5 miles north-east, Wigginton sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.

Why act early in Wigginton
Knowing whether older wear played a part helps you understand your position. We record storm damage and older defects, so you know what the roof shows. In a small place like Wigginton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
