Pre-purchase roof survey in Pinkneys Green: what you get
A full home survey looks at the whole property, so the roof is one item among many. We do not offer a RICS home survey, and ours isn’t a substitute for one. It adds a focused look at the roof on its own, with photographs of what we find and written recommendations. The two sit side by side. We survey clay and concrete tiles, flat-roofed extensions and dormers and lead flashings and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are bitumen or mortar used in place of proper repairs and lead that has worked loose at a wall or chimney.
Smaller places like Pinkneys Green often have bungalows and cottages as well as houses, many of them extended or given dormers over the years. Low roofs are easier to see from the ground, but dormer cheeks, valleys and flat-roofed additions still need close attention. The same goes for a purchase or a new roof around Pinkneys Green. Snags and wear both tend to show at dormer lead work and along flat-roof edges.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Even if you go ahead regardless, knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan. You will know which jobs are urgent and which can wait, so you can plan work before small faults get bigger. Arranging work in a smaller place like Pinkneys Green is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Pre-purchase roof surveys around Pinkneys Green
Harleyford Manor, about 2.6 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pinkneys Green. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have 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.
The streets around a church like Church of St. James the Less are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. Landlords with a home close to Furze Platt station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Pinkneys Green: your questions answered
Is Pinkneys Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Pinkneys Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Pinkneys Green?
Typically it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Pinkneys Green is about 3 miles from White Waltham Airfield, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, and the rest of the survey doesn’t depend on the drone.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Can I use the report to negotiate on price?
Yes. You will have photos and a written description of each defect, so you can raise them with the seller or their agent. How the seller responds is up to them.
How soon is the report ready?
That depends on which survey you choose: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Tell us your exchange date and we’ll help you choose.
Is this the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a dedicated roof survey, with a written report and photos. It is not a RICS survey and does not cover the rest of the house.
How do I book a survey in Pinkneys Green?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Roof by roof
Gutters and parapets
Gutters, downpipes and outlets carry water away from walls. We check for blockages, leaking joints and sagging runs, along with fascias and soffits.
Chimney stacks
A stack stands exposed above the roof line. We check the pots, the flaunching, the pointing and the flashings.
Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Tell us your exchange date as you book
- Share the report with your solicitor
- Request records of any re-roofing
- Notice patches of new decoration in top-floor rooms
You may want to pass the report to your solicitor or conveyancer so they can raise enquiries with the seller’s side. Past repairs, re-roofing and any records of that work are all fair questions, especially where we’ve found patch repairs.
Check the roof from the garden and the street after a storm. Pieces of slate or tile in the garden mean something has moved. Dealing with them early keeps water out.
What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Which survey package you book
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
We’ll normally ask about:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Your timetable, like an exchange date

A visit to Pinkneys Green is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
