Useful tips for Glebe Farm property owners
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Tell your insurer about the damage promptly
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the damage, its likely cause and any older defects. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Keep gutters and outlets clear so heavy rain can drain away. Blocked drainage can add water damage to wind damage.
How a storm damage roof report works in Glebe Farm
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Your policy document sets out its own definition. Whether the weather met it is for your insurer. We record the damage and what seems to have caused it. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. Typical surveys look at roofs hit by falling trees and slates and tiles blown off the roof, on chimney stacks, gutters and fascias and ridges and hips.
Houses in smaller places like Glebe Farm can stand more in the open, where driving rain gets into any gap at a ridge, verge or flashing. A leak that only appears in certain weather frequently points to an exposed detail. It helps to know when and where the water appears. The gutters on the most exposed side can overflow too.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Wind can pull the flashings away from a chimney. We photograph any we find.
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but the nails often fail first. We check whether slipped slates suggest storm damage, older wear or both.
Questions from Glebe Farm
Is my home in Glebe Farm listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Glebe Farm?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does this replace a RICS home 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 and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when you book.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Glebe Farm
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Bletchley Park, about 3.9 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Glebe Farm. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Woburn Sands station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer straight away. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.

The survey, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Being in a smaller place like Glebe Farm doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can be seen safely, including the loft where there is access.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- You get a written report you can pass to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
