About our pre-purchase roof survey in Horsleys Green
Our packages start with the Basic Survey from £150, while Standard starts from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT. Standard adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Pick the one that fits the property. All three include a written report with photographs and recommendations. We are frequently asked to look into quick fixes on flashings and valleys and blistered or split felt on a flat roof, across natural slate, flat-roofed extensions and dormers and clay and concrete tiles.
Being in a small place like Horsleys Green makes no difference to the inspection itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages with roofs you’d like looked at when you book, so the visit can be planned around them. Whether you are buying or checking new work, the same care goes into it. Weekday and weekend visits are both available.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Why get it checked now?
A mortgage valuation isn’t a roof survey. It looks at whether the property is suitable security for the loan, and it won’t look closely at the roof. Our survey is done for you, and the report is written for you to use. For an older or listed building in a place like Horsleys Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What we’re asked to look at in Horsleys Green
Flat roofs turn up on extensions, dormers, porches and garages. A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, and ponding, blisters and splits are common signs of age. They’re easy to overlook on a viewing, especially when they’re only visible from an upper floor.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Quick fixes on flashings and valleys
- Sagging ridge lines or uneven roof slopes
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or gone
- Flashings that have lifted or split
If you own a rental within reach of Saunderton station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
What to check before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance

What affects the cost of pre-purchase roof surveys
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Roof area
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What’s prompted the survey
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What kind of property and roof it is
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Horsleys Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We help you pick the package that suits the property.
- A date is booked on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You receive the report, with findings prioritised by urgency, so you can raise them with the seller.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
