How a storm damage roof report works in Furzton
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. That makes the difference between storm damage and old wear important. We note signs of each: fresh breaks and recently moved slates or tiles, and older problems such as corroded nails or worn mortar. We describe what we see, whichever way it points. Your insurer then decides how its policy applies. If you’ve noticed gaps where slates or tiles have gone and flashings pulled away from walls or stacks, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Furzton can let water in, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp in a chimney breast can have more than one cause, so it is not always obvious where it starts. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Ask a tree specialist about branches over the roof. They can damage the roof in high winds.
Checking the roof from the ground
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Signs you need a storm damage roof report in Furzton
Landlords and managing agents book reports to keep a record for owners and insurers. It helps when explaining damage to a building owner or insurer.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damaged ridges and hips
Shop and office owners around Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre may find that a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters.

What we do, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. For a survey in Furzton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- 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
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Furzton
Is Furzton in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Furzton as anywhere else.
Do you cover smaller places like Furzton?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Insurers normally exclude wear and tear. We describe what looks like fresh storm damage and what looks older. The claim decision is your insurer’s.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Call a roofer for emergency temporary protection. If it’s safe, photograph the damage before it’s covered. Keep receipts for any emergency work.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details as you book.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A clear, independent record helps you explain the damage to your insurer. It records the damage and what seems to have caused it, so you are not relying only on your own photos. Around Furzton, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before you book.

Wind, rain and roofs in Furzton
With Bletchley Park about 1.1 miles south-east, Furzton sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Barleyhurst Park Primary, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside. Homes near green spaces such as South Loughton Valley park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
