Storm damage roof reports around Wootton
The wider area around Wootton has a long history of building, with Appleton Manor about 2 miles west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in.
Shop and office owners around Westgate Shopping Centre may find that water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Dry Sandford Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

About our storm damage roof report in Wootton
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. We record each area of damage, photograph it and note the likely cause. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. If you’re worried about slates and tiles blown off the roof and stains appearing after strong winds, we can find out what’s behind it.
Roofs in small places like Wootton often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Common roof problems in Wootton
Storms don’t only affect pitched roofs. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
For landlords with property near Radley station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over.

Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Around Wootton, 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 is safe.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- You get a written report to pass to your insurer.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
