Storm damage roof report in Caldecote: what you get
A storm damage roof report is an independent record of the damage to your roof after a storm. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. You can then give it to your insurer with your claim. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. We are not loss adjusters, and we cannot tell you whether a claim will succeed. If you are worried about loose or torn flashings and cowls or aerials dislodged in the wind, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Being in a small place like Caldecote makes no difference to how a leak or storm damage is looked at: 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.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Photograph damage inside the house too
If a claim is declined and you disagree, the first step is a complaint to the insurer. After that, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Caldecote
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
Different roofs, different checks
Ridge and hip tiles
A lifted ridge tile can let water into the roof. Each one is recorded with photos.
Chimney stacks
High winds can loosen pots, cowls and aerials on stacks. We record any damage we can see.
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older rural homes like those around Caldecote can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- 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
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Tell us about parking before the day

What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Caldecote
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. With Linford Manor about 1.6 miles west, Caldecote sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Milton Keynes Central station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. Anyone responsible for a site like Tickford Park Primary School will know that a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary Magdalene, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

What affects the price in Caldecote
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Roof area
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

Questions from Caldecote
Do you cover smaller places like Caldecote?
Yes. Caldecote is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.

Yes, Caldecote is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
