Landlords, agents and block managers in Newton Longville
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
How a storm damage roof report works in Newton Longville
The Financial Ombudsman looks at three things when it considers a storm damage complaint: were there storm conditions on or around the date, is the damage consistent with a storm, and was the storm the main cause. Our report focuses on the second and third points. You or your insurer can check the weather for the date. If you’ve noticed loose or torn flashings and torn or lifted flat roof coverings, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
For a small place like Newton Longville, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned ahead of time. Let us know where the water shows, when it appears and anything you’ve noticed outside, plus any earlier repairs. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Check how your policy defines a storm
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Newton Longville
Do you cover Newton Longville?
Yes, Newton Longville is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Newton Longville as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Newton Longville 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.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency cover over a damaged roof should be arranged with a roofer. Take photos from ground level first if it is safe. Keep receipts in case your insurer asks for them.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Most policies don’t cover wear and tear. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. Your insurer decides how its policy applies.
How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Newton Longville can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First you give us the date of the storm and what you’ve noticed, inside and out.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- The damage is recorded with photos, area by area.
- We note the likely cause, including any signs of wear that were there before the storm.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Getting a price
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.
Advice
How we price storm damage roof reports
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The address and postcode of the property
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- When you need the report by
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Newton Longville
With Bletchley Park about 2.1 miles north-east, Newton Longville sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
Landlords with a home close to Bletchley station may find that finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused. Anyone responsible for a site like Newton Longville Church of England Primary School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back. The streets around a church like Church of St Faith are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
Lifted trims and laps are common after a storm. We check whether the damage is recent or older.
Clay and concrete tiles
Older tiles held only by nibs, without nails or clips, can lift more easily. We record what we can see of the fixings.
