Storm damage roof report in Tattenhoe
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Photograph the damage from ground level or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. We’re often asked to look into damaged flat roof membrane and lead lifted at abutments, across flat roofs, slate and tile slopes and flashings.
Around Tattenhoe, chimneys on older homes are a common source of leaks, 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.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Leaks and storm damage in Tattenhoe
With Bletchley Park about 2.1 miles east, Tattenhoe sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Giles's Church, water on an older roof tends to find its way in at the lead, the valleys or the chimney. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, a quick answer on where water is coming in keeps a business running.
Tattenhoe is about 1 mile south-west of Furzton, in Milton Keynes. Whether the building in Tattenhoe is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed. Our area takes in places right across Milton Keynes.

What else we do in Tattenhoe
Tattenhoe: your questions answered
Is my home in Tattenhoe 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’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Tattenhoe?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
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 it’s clear what we found. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Can you tell me if my claim will be paid?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Prices for storm damage roof reports in Tattenhoe
To price your survey, we check:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
What we are asked to look at in Tattenhoe
Storms do not only affect pitched roofs. Wind can lift edges and tear coverings, and blocked outlets can leave water ponding after heavy rain. We record what we find on flat and pitched roofs alike.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Holes or cracks caused by debris
- Loose or torn flashings
If you look after a building such as Giles Brook Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.
What to check before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Are they insured for the work?
- What happens after the report arrives
Why it’s worth a survey now in Tattenhoe
It is useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Further storms and quick fixes can make the picture less clear. Around Tattenhoe, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

- More than 5,000 surveys completed

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Keep receipts for any emergency work
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Keep a note of the date of the storm
- Keep any slates, tiles or debris that fall, if it is safe to do so
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We don’t deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Keep the roof in good order between storms. Have loose slates, tiles and flashings seen to promptly.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a smaller place like Tattenhoe, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We start with the details: when the storm hit and what damage you can see.
- We view the roof from wherever it can safely be seen, including the loft where there’s access.
- We photograph and record every area of damage we can see.
- The likely cause is recorded, along with any evidence of older wear.
- The findings are written up with photographs for you to share with your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
