Questions from Berghers Hill
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Berghers Hill?
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.
Is Berghers Hill in the area you cover?
Yes, Berghers Hill is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
About our new roof snagging in Berghers Hill
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. If you’ve noticed poorly finished verges and debris left in gutters or valleys, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and verges, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers alike.
In a village or hamlet like Berghers Hill, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older roofs there may have clay tiles, slate, stone or, in some places, thatch. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks, and thatch is a specialist material, so we report on what can be seen. What’s under the coverings, from old felt to the battens and nails, matters too.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What else we do in Berghers Hill
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. The survey usually takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Older rural homes like those around Berghers Hill can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.

Advice
Berghers Hill homes and their roofs
The wider area around Berghers Hill has a long history of building, with Cliveden about 1.7 miles south. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you let a flat or house near Bourne End station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. The streets around a church such as Church of St Paul are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Berghers Hill
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Why it is worth a survey now in Berghers Hill
Small faults on a new roof can grow. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. In a place like Berghers Hill, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Helping us price your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
