Leave it or get it looked at?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from ground level. Those photos show the damage as it was. Around Wroxton, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Storm damage roof report in Wroxton: what you get
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. Typical surveys look at holes or cracks caused by debris and loose or torn flashings, on ridges and hips, gutters and fascias and flashings.
Being in a small place like Wroxton makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Storm damage roof reports in Wroxton: local notes
With Broughton Castle about 2.3 miles south, Wroxton sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Landlords with a home close to Banbury station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Castle Quay Shopping Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.
Wroxton is about 2 miles west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Wroxton can all book storm damage roof reports. We cover towns and villages across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. For surveys nearby, see our Oxford page.

What else we do in Wroxton
Landlords, agents and block managers in Wroxton
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What happens on the day
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 between one and two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Rural addresses near Wroxton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Getting a price
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The size of the roof
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Common questions in Wroxton
How do I find out if my home in Wroxton is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Wroxton in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from ground level or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level, and we’ll record the rest.
What wind speed counts as a storm?
It varies by policy. About 55 mph is a common figure in many policies, but your policy sets the actual test.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The written report follows by email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Wroxton
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. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
Common reasons to book include:
- Water coming in after the storm
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Loose or broken chimney pots and cowls
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
What to check before booking
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Debris blown onto a flat roof can puncture the covering or block outlets. Any damage is recorded with photos.
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
