Storm damage roof report in Whitehouse: what you get
We inspect the roof from wherever it can safely be seen: 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 photos to give to your insurer. If you’ve noticed gutters pulled loose in the wind and damaged flat roof membrane, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Chimney stacks on older houses around places like Whitehouse can let water in, at the flashings, the pointing or the mortar round the pots. Damp on a chimney breast isn’t always rain from above, which is why it’s worth tracing properly. The stack, its flashings and the loft space beside it are all worth checking.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Questions from Whitehouse
Is Whitehouse in the area you cover?
Yes, Whitehouse is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Whitehouse within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
What if the roof was already worn?
Wear and tear is usually excluded from home insurance. 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.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
We can’t say whether a claim will be paid. The decision rests with your insurer and its policy. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when booking.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Whitehouse, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- First we go through when the storm hit and what you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Should I look at the roof myself first?
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The roof’s overall size
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
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.
What to let us know when you contact us
We will typically ask about:
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Anything about access we should know
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Common roof problems in Whitehouse
Some people book because a claim has been questioned. You get an independent record of what the roof shows. What happens next is up to the insurer.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damaged ridges and hips
- Slipped or missing slates or tiles
- Flat roof edges peeled back
- Flashings pulled away from walls or stacks
Anyone responsible for a site like Whitehouse Primary School will know that tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

What a storm damage roof report looks like in Whitehouse
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. Linford Manor, about 3.7 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Whitehouse. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Milton Keynes Central station may find that a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Cross, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
