FAQs for Wooburn Green
How do I find out if my home in Wooburn Green is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Wooburn Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Wooburn Green is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
About our new roof snagging in Wooburn Green
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. Common reasons to book are loose or badly finished ridge tiles and underlay not dressed into the gutter, across replacement roofs, ridges and verges and flashings and valleys.
Houses in smaller places like Wooburn Green can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, which can mean more wind and rain on the roof. Ridges, verges and flashings are where that weather typically shows first. For a purchase or a new roof, those exposed edges are looked at closely. On an exposed roof, a loose ridge or verge soon becomes a bigger job.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

When to book a survey in Wooburn Green
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
If you own a rental within reach of Bourne End station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Wooburn Green
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Being in a smaller place like Wooburn Green doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- The roof space is checked where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Arrange a survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Related advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. In a smaller place like Wooburn Green, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing does not stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why us?
- Over 20 years’ experience
- An independent look at the roof

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and what we found on two real jobs.
How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation
At the eaves, the underlay should run into the gutter so water drains away. We check it where it’s visible.
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. We check for cracked, uneven or poorly fixed tiles as far as can be seen.
Wooburn Green homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Cliveden, about 2.6 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Wooburn Green goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
The streets around a church like St Mary's Pastoral Centre are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
