Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Amersham on the Hill
Our storm damage report gives you an independent, written record of how a storm has affected your roof. It sets out what is damaged, with photos, and what we think the likely cause is. It’s yours to pass to your insurer. The decision on any claim rests with your insurer and its policy wording. We aren’t loss adjusters and can’t say whether a claim will be paid. If you’re worried about slates and tiles blown off the roof and damaged ridges and hips, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In older homes around places like Amersham on the Hill, the underlay may be old bitumen felt, or there may be none at all. Without a sound underlay, any gap in the coverings lets water straight through. Whether it’s long-term wear or recent damage makes a difference to what happens next. In the loft, damp battens or wet insulation are often the first clues.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. A visit to a smaller place like Amersham on the Hill is no different on the day: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You let us know what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there’s access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Getting a price
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Questions from Amersham on the Hill
Do you carry out roof surveys in Amersham on the Hill?
Yes, Amersham on the Hill is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Amersham on the Hill is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we cannot predict the outcome.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How should I record storm damage myself?
Only from the ground or from windows. Don’t use a ladder or go onto the roof. With binoculars, you can see a lot from the ground and we’ll inspect the rest from safe positions.
Leave it or get it looked at?
The sooner the damage is recorded, the clearer the evidence. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. In an older home around Amersham on the Hill, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.

Amersham on the Hill roofs and the weather
Chenies Manor House, about 3.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Amersham on the Hill. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dr Challoner's Grammar School, water through a big roof can travel a long way before it drips, so the search covers more than the obvious spot. The streets around a church such as St. Michael and All Angels are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in.
