About our storm damage roof report in Bletchley
The Financial Ombudsman asks three questions when it looks at storm complaints: whether there were storm conditions around the date, whether the damage fits a storm, and whether the storm was the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. Weather records for the date are for you or your insurer to check. We survey gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and flat roofs, and people most often book us about loose or torn flashings and flat roof edges peeled back.
When a storm passes over a town like Bletchley, loose tiles, slates and ridges are the first to move. What counts as a storm depends on your policy; many use gusts of around 55 mph. A report setting out the damage, with photos, helps you explain what you’ve found. Policies typically exclude wear and tear, which is why the age of the damage matters.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Why get it checked now?
It’s useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Roof faults found early can be planned for, while one found after water comes through normally has to be dealt with in a hurry.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes an hour or two for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. A visit in Bletchley runs most smoothly with the loft hatch clear, side gates open and a parking spot in mind. Someone needs to let us in, so tell us who that will be.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- 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
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Arrange a survey
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Advice
Leaks and storm damage in Bletchley
With Bletchley Park about 0.3 miles north, Bletchley sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
For businesses in and around places such as Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. Living close to Waterhall Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you let a flat or house near Bletchley station, tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Bletchley is about 3 miles south of Milton Keynes, in Milton Keynes. From houses to flats and shops in Bletchley, we can survey the roof. Bletchley is one of the towns and villages in Milton Keynes where we work for storm damage roof reports.
Storm damage roof reports in MK3, MK2, MK1 and MK4 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. If you need a storm damage roof report at a property on Stanier Square, Downing Close and Wilton Avenue or a nearby road, we can survey it.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Photograph damage inside the house too
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Check how your policy defines a storm
- Arrange temporary cover with a roofer if rain is getting in
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
- What your policy covers, which depends on its wording
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges and hips
- Flashings
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
- Gutters and fascias
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The size of the roof
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What to let us know when you contact us
There’s no need for technical words. It is enough to tell us:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Common questions in Bletchley
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bletchley?
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.
Is there anything to prepare before you come to Bletchley?
The main thing is access, inside and out, plus somewhere to park in Bletchley. It also helps to know about any leaks or earlier repairs.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it’s safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
