What happens if roof problems are left?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. Those photos show the damage as it was. In a smaller place like Woodstock, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further.

Storm damage roof report in Woodstock
Storms tend to find the weak points on a roof. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. Our report records what has happened to your roof, with photos. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We’re often asked to look into lead lifted at abutments and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, on slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and gutters and fascias.
Older cottages and houses around Woodstock may have roofs with little or no underlay. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Finding where it gets in, and whether it is old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are often the first clue.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- House, block, shop or office
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The shape of the roof and its details
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Getting in touch
A few details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The property’s address and postcode
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
Common questions in Woodstock
Do you carry out roof surveys in Woodstock?
Yes, Woodstock is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Woodstock is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Is there a set wind speed for storm damage?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. We note both storm damage and older defects, so it is clear what we found. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.

Storm damage roof reports in Woodstock: local notes
With Blenheim Palace about 0.8 miles south-west, Woodstock sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often 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. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Hotels and guest houses near Woodstock cannot easily close rooms for a leak. If you look after a building such as Woodstock Church of England Primary School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. If you own a rental within reach of Hanborough station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away.

How the survey changes by roof type
Ridge and hip tiles
Water can get in where ridge tiles have moved. We photograph and describe the damage.
Flat roof coverings
Branches and debris can damage flat roofs or block outlets. We record what we find.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Landlords and letting agents in Woodstock book surveys as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the roof.
The survey, step by step
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Parking around Woodstock is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Leave side gates unlocked
