Storm damage roof report in Whaddon, Milton Keynes
Wondering about the roof at a property in Whaddon? We carry out storm damage roof reports in Whaddon and across Milton Keynes, with plain-English findings.
- Water coming in after the storm
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Roofs hit by falling trees
How we price storm damage roof reports
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The roof’s overall size
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What’s prompted the survey
- The kind of building and roof involved
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Storm damage roof report in Whaddon: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from the ground, from windows and higher points, from the roof space and from the roof where it is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a report with photographs to give to your insurer. If you are worried about gaps where slates or tiles have gone and lead lifted at abutments, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Roofs in small places like Whaddon frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Damp in old stone, brick or timber walls is slow to dry out, which makes finding the cause quickly worthwhile. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Let your insurer know early, and check what your policy asks for. Our report can then add a clear record. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Whaddon, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
Why book with us
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- A written report with photos
- An independent look at the roof

Common questions in Whaddon
Do you carry out roof surveys in Whaddon?
Yes, Whaddon is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is Whaddon within the area you cover?
Yes, Whaddon is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
What do I do if water is coming in?
Emergency temporary protection is a job for a roofer. Photograph the damage first if you can do so safely. Our report then records the roof.
Does your report mean my claim will be accepted?
That is not something we can promise. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. What we provide is an independent record of the damage.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Take photos from ground level or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
How long is the visit?
It usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You’ll then get the report by email.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
What a storm damage roof report looks like in Whaddon
The wider area around Whaddon has a long history of building, with Bletchley Park about 3.5 miles east. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it’s detailed.
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. Landlords with a home close to Milton Keynes Central station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you look after a building such as Whaddon CofE First School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit.

- 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.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
