How a storm damage roof report works in Bradville
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. Trees and branches can also hit roofs in a storm. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey slate and tile slopes, chimney stacks and flashings, and people most often book us about damaged gutters and fascias and gaps where slates or tiles have gone.
In older homes around places like Bradville, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Finding where it gets in, and whether it’s old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are frequently the first clues.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Bradville
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. Milton Keynes, which Bradville is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. Low pitches let wind-driven rain reach further under the tiles, and flat-roofed garages and porches are common leak points.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Midsummer Place, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Pepper Hill School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside.
Bradville is about 2 miles north of Milton Keynes, in Milton Keynes. We survey roofs in Bradville and the rest of Milton Keynes. We cover towns and villages across Milton Keynes.
All of MK13 and MK14 is covered for storm damage roof reports, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Streets in the area include Mill Lane, Rawlins Road and Crispin Road, all of which we cover. If you are just outside Bradville, we cover Bradwell (1 mile south), Bradwell Abbey (1 mile south-west), Great Linford (1 mile north-east) and Milton Keynes (2 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Bletchley (5 miles south), Newport Pagnell (3 miles north-east), Bletchley and Fenny Stratford (5 miles south-east), Furzton (4 miles south), Middleton (4 miles east) and Fenny Stratford (5 miles south-east).

Common questions in Bradville
Should a flat-roofed garage or porch in Bradville be checked too?
Often, yes, so mention it when you book. Flat-roofed garages and porches are common in new towns like Milton Keynes, and older felt coverings may be near the end of their life.
Will you come out to Bradville?
Yes, Bradville is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is wear and tear covered by insurance?
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.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Only from the ground or from windows. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. With binoculars, you can see a lot from ground level and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you put a tarpaulin over the damage?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. If it’s safe, take photos before it goes on. Our report then records the roof.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes an hour or two for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a smaller place like Bradville, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We check the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- The report notes whether the damage fits a storm, older wear or both.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

What we’re asked to look at in Bradville
Gusts work at anything on a roof that’s loose or exposed. Driving rain then gets in through the gaps. Most people book a report soon after a storm, when they’ve seen damage or water has come in.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind
Homes near green spaces such as Campbell Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
What to check before booking
- What experience they bring
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Their insurance cover
- Whether you get a written report with photos

What else we do in Bradville
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Wind can lift the edges of flat roof coverings or tear them. We record any damage and where it is.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We note what we can see of how tiles are fixed.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Roof area
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What made you get in touch
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
