Stoke Mandeville questions
Do you cover Stoke Mandeville?
Yes, Stoke Mandeville is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is Stoke Mandeville within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
My storm claim was turned down. What now?
Start by complaining to the insurer. The Financial Ombudsman Service may look at it if that doesn’t resolve it. The Ombudsman asks about storm conditions, whether the damage is consistent with a storm and whether the storm was the main cause.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
That’s not something we can promise. Insurers decide claims on their own policy wording. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Stoke Mandeville
After a storm, it’s useful to have a clear record of what happened to your roof. Our report shows the damage in photos and says whether it looks like storm damage, wear and tear, or a mix. We’re not loss adjusters and can’t tell you if your claim will succeed. What you get is an independent view of the roof’s condition. If you are worried about lead lifted at abutments and slipped or missing slates or tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older cottages and houses around Stoke Mandeville may have roofs with little or no underlay. Once the slates or tiles let water past, there is little to stop it reaching the ceiling. Finding where it gets in, and whether it is old wear or new damage, decides what comes next. Wet battens and insulation in the loft are often the first clue.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Stoke Mandeville
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer.
What we cannot see
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Acting for you with the insurer
- A decision on your insurance claim
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Gutters and fascias
- Chimney stacks
- Slate and tile slopes
- Flat roofs
- Flashings
- Ridges and hips
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Report the damage to your insurer as soon as you can
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. They can use our report to see what needs doing.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
Leaks and storm damage in Stoke Mandeville
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stoke Mandeville Combined School, a leak through a large roof is frequently found some distance from where the water shows inside. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Stoke Mandeville?
Others book after an insurer has queried a claim. An independent report gives you another view of the roof. We can’t say whether the decision will change.
We are often asked to look at:
- Ridge tiles that have come loose
- Lead lifted at abutments
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
Landlords with a home close to Stoke Mandeville station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What the survey will not cover
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Being in a smaller place like Stoke Mandeville does not 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.
- You tell us when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the roof space where it is safe.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Should I look at the roof myself first?
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
