What we look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves so water drains away. We check it where it’s visible.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs frequently have snags at the verges and eaves. We look at them closely.
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Fulmer
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the loft space for condensation. We note what we can see. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it’s worth raising early. It all goes in the report. If you’ve noticed gutters or fascias damaged during the job and untidy or loose verge details, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Fulmer, homes are often 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’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Photos from ground level rarely show the detail. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely using a drone where applicable. Older and listed buildings around Fulmer may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Somewhere like Fulmer 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 the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Advice
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Roof area
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The property’s address and postcode
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What we’re asked to look at in Fulmer
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
For landlords with property near Gerrards Cross station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so there is time to raise anything.
Buying a home or a new roof in Fulmer
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so check with the council. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
Take an older house close to Church of St James: a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Common questions in Fulmer
Do you cover smaller places like Fulmer?
Yes, Fulmer is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fulmer?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
