Common questions in Berghers Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Berghers Hill?
Yes, Berghers Hill is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Berghers Hill is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
How much is a storm damage roof report?
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Larger or more complex roofs are quoted for their size. Repair costs aren’t included, so ask a roofer to quote.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
The first step is a complaint to your insurer. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our report gives you an independent record of the roof, but we can’t say how it will turn out.
Will my insurer pay for an old roof?
Wear and tear is typically excluded from home insurance. Our report records storm damage and any older wear we see, so you know what the roof shows. How the policy applies is up to your insurer.
Will my insurer pay out if I get a storm damage report?
Only your insurer can decide that. We record the damage, with photographs and the likely cause, which you can pass to your insurer.
Storm damage roof reports for homes and businesses in Berghers Hill
What counts as a storm depends on your policy, though many use gusts of about 55 mph. Check your own policy wording. We do not decide whether a storm met that test. Our part is recording the damage to your roof and its likely cause. Each area of damage is photographed, and the report is yours to pass on. The claim decision rests with your insurer. If you are worried about damage from fallen branches or debris and damaged ridges and hips, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Berghers Hill, older roofs have frequently been repaired many times. A new leak may be fresh damage or the latest sign of long-term wear, and the difference matters, especially to an insurer. We check everything that’s safely in view and set out what we find. Damp in old walls and timbers is slow to dry, so the sooner the cause is found the better.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles can lift, crack or blow off in high winds. The report shows each damaged area.
Ridge and hip tiles
Ridge tiles bedded in old mortar can loosen in high winds. We note whether the mortar looks recently broken or long worn.
Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Keep fallen slates or tiles as evidence if safe
- File receipts for anything you pay for
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Record any water damage in rooms and the loft
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Do not go up a ladder to look.
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. Around Berghers Hill, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is inspected from safe positions.

Berghers Hill roofs and the weather
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. 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. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
For landlords with property near Bourne End station, a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you live in an older home near Church of St Paul, lead flashings, valleys and old chimneys are typical places for water to get in. If you look after a building like Wooburn Green Primary School, a leak through a large roof is often found some distance from where the water shows inside.

What affects the cost of storm damage roof reports
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The roof’s overall size
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
There is no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them

Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Your policy may say how quickly you need to report damage. Check the wording and tell your insurer as soon as you can. An independent report can follow. Around Berghers Hill, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Storm damage roof report starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.
