Storm damage roof report in Beacon Hill: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: from ground level, from windows and higher points, from the loft space and from the roof where it is safe. We photograph and describe each area of damage. We note any part we couldn’t see. You get a written report with photographs to give to your insurer. Common reasons to book are roofs hit by falling trees and lead lifted at abutments, on flat roofs, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes.
Roofs in small places like Beacon Hill frequently stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photographs is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. We record any that have lifted, cracked or come away.
Storm damage roof reports in Beacon Hill: local notes
With Hughenden Manor about 3.5 miles north-west, Beacon Hill sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. The covering and its details give the first clues when tracing where water is coming from.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of Holy Trinity, the leak may come from a chimney, a valley or tired lead rather than the covering itself. If you own a rental within reach of Beaconsfield station, finding the cause of a leak fast keeps a tenant’s home dry and the work focused.
Beacon Hill is about 2 miles north-west of Beaconsfield, in Buckinghamshire. Beacon Hill is part of the area we cover across London and South East England. Our Buckinghamshire coverage includes Beacon Hill. You can also see our page for Reading.

Beacon Hill: your questions answered
Is Beacon Hill in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Beacon Hill?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Bigger roofs are quoted on size and access. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
What we cannot see
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Damage hidden under coverings or inside the structure, without opening up
- The outcome of a claim
- A price for the repairs

Do you need a storm damage roof report in Beacon Hill?
Roofs that were already worn are more likely to suffer in a storm. Nail fatigue, eroded ridge mortar and tired flashings can all fail in high winds. We record recent damage alongside older defects.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Stains appearing after strong winds
- Damaged flat roof membrane
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Lifted or missing ridge and hip tiles
For businesses in and around places such as Eden, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast.
What to check before booking
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
How the survey works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Rural addresses near Beacon Hill can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you’ve seen and any temporary repairs.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- We view the roof from safe positions.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- You receive the written report with photos.
Before we arrive
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Getting a price
We confirm the exact price before booking, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
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.
