Storm damage roof report in Aspley Guise, Milton Keynes
Not sure what state the roof is in? We carry out storm damage roof reports in Aspley Guise and across Milton Keynes, with plain-English findings.
- Damage from fallen branches or debris

Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Aspley Guise
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. If water is coming in, a roofer can put temporary protection in place. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. We are often asked to look into flashings pulled away from walls or stacks and damaged flat roof membrane, on flat roofs, flashings and gutters and fascias.
For a small place like Aspley Guise, the inspection is the same as anywhere: we simply plan the journey and access ahead. Tell us where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, along with any repairs done before. Photographs of the stain and of the roof from outside are helpful too.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Whether your insurer will pay the claim
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- Negotiating a claim settlement

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Aspley Guise
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from. Woburn Abbey, about 2.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Aspley Guise. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Botolph are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you own a rental within reach of Aspley Guise station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.

When to book a survey in Aspley Guise
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Damaged gutters and fascias
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
- Loose or torn flashings
Anyone responsible for a site like Aspley Guise Lower School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Why it is worth a survey now in Aspley Guise
Leaving storm damage can let water into the loft space and rooms below. Further water damage can blur what the storm actually did. Emergency temporary protection should be arranged with a roofer. In a place like Aspley Guise, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Prices for storm damage roof reports in Aspley Guise
Several things affect the price of a survey:

Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Anything about access we should know
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around Aspley Guise can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Aspley Guise questions
How do I find out if my home in Aspley Guise is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Aspley Guise in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Aspley Guise as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Are you loss adjusters?
No. Our report is an independent record for you to use. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Raise it with your insurer first. If it is not resolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to help. The Ombudsman looks at whether there were storm conditions, whether the damage fits a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
