How a storm damage roof report works in Shenley Church End
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It does not price the repairs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. Your insurer may also send its own loss adjuster. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. We survey flashings, flat roofs and ridges and hips, and the problems we are asked to look at most are flat roof edges peeled back and holes or cracks caused by debris.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Shenley Church End can let water in, through worn flaunching, failed pointing or lifted flashings. 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Storm damage roof reports in Shenley Church End: local notes
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these roof types has its own typical places for water to get in. The wider area around Shenley Church End has a long history of building, with Bletchley Park about 2.6 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own a rental within reach of Milton Keynes Central station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. For businesses in and around places like Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.

When to book a survey in Shenley Church End
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
If you live near a park such as South Loughton Valley park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
What to check before booking
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What exactly goes into their report
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
What happens on the day
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. On timing, it typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Being in a smaller place like Shenley Church End doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- Inside, we look for signs of water in the loft and rooms below.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
It is useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. In an older home around Shenley Church End, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.

What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Tips that help
Getting the most from a storm damage roof report starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Clear gutters and outlets before the stormy months. Overflowing gutters can make storm damage worse.
FAQs for Shenley Church End
Is my home in Shenley Church End listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Will you come out to Shenley Church End?
Yes, Shenley Church End is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We cannot say whether a claim will be paid. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s 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.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, though we can’t predict the outcome.
