How a flat roof survey works in Pitch Green
Our Basic Survey, from £150, gives you a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. For moisture detection and a structural check, the Standard Survey starts from £250. On a flat roof, moisture readings can help show whether water has got under the covering. Bigger commercial roofs are priced on their size and access. If you’ve noticed a sagging deck under the covering and gaps at upstands and abutments, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Pitch Green are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Why act early in Pitch Green
On a commercial building, a flat roof leak can disrupt tenants, staff and stock. A planned survey lets you budget for work rather than deal with an emergency around the business. For an older or listed building in a place like Pitch Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Somewhere like Pitch Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Advice
Flat roof surveys in Pitch Green: local notes
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. 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. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Princes Risborough School, schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

Common questions in Pitch Green
Is my home in Pitch Green listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Pitch Green?
Yes, Pitch Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT.
Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?
The survey covers the covering and all the details where leaks typically begin, recording anything that could let water through. If the source is hidden, we may suggest a leak investigation or electronic leak detection.
What does ponding on a flat roof mean?
Standing water on a flat roof deserves a closer look. It frequently means a blocked outlet, poor falls or a dipping deck, and it wears the covering faster. We record where it sits and the likely cause.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.

Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The address and postcode of the property
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What a flat roof survey does not cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- The condition of the deck or insulation hidden under the covering
- Fragile surfaces, which we don’t walk on
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Upstands and outlets
- Felt flat roofs
- Mastic asphalt
- GRP fibreglass
- Single-ply membranes
- EPDM rubber
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
- File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs
Once we’ve been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the type of covering, its condition and each defect, with our recommendations. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Clear leaves and silt from outlets and gutters, above all in autumn. Water that can drain away does far less harm than water that sits.
When to book a survey in Pitch Green
People go onto flat roofs for all sorts of reasons: cleaning windows, fitting aerials or air conditioning, or clearing gutters. Each visit can damage a covering not made for regular foot traffic. New brackets and fixings through the roof are another common source of leaks.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Splits and cracks in the covering
- Upstands pulling away from walls
- Edge trims that have lifted or split
- Raised blisters across the surface
If you let a flat or house near Princes Risborough station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
What to check before booking
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
