Storm damage roof report in Little Brickhill
High winds normally affect the parts of a roof that are already exposed or loose. Typical damage includes lost slates and tiles, lifted ridges, loose flashings and torn flat roof coverings. Falling branches can cause damage too. We record the damage on your roof and photograph each part. Any older wear we can see is recorded as well. We survey gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are loose or torn flashings and gutters pulled loose in the wind.
Roofs in small places like Little Brickhill often stand in the open, so storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hard. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A written record also helps if you need to explain it to anyone else.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Roof by roof
Ridge and hip tiles
Worn mortar under ridge tiles can let them lift in a storm. Our report says whether it looks freshly damaged or worn over time.
Chimney stacks
Wind can pull the flashings away from a chimney. We photograph any we find.
FAQs for Little Brickhill
Is my home in Little Brickhill listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Little Brickhill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Who handles emergency protection after a storm?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. We can record the damage in our report.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
Each policy has its own definition. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but check your own wording.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Little Brickhill
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
Storm damage roof reports around Little Brickhill
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts. Bletchley Park, about 3 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Little Brickhill. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Homes near green spaces such as Waterhall Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary Magdalen: the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. For landlords with property near Bow Brickhill station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.

What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How big the roof is
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

What happens on the day
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Cottages and farmhouses around Little Brickhill frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- Storm damage and older wear are recorded separately where we can.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
