About roof surveys in Buckinghamshire

Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Each defect is described with photographs and a recommendation, and where it’s relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. Typical surveys look at leaning or weathered chimney stacks and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, across lead flashings, natural slate and flat roofs.

When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey normally takes about one to two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer.

How our prices work

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 safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Roof surveys across Buckinghamshire: local notes

Homes across Buckinghamshire range from older properties with chimneys and lead flashings to newer houses with concrete tiles. Blocked gutters, slipped slates and tired flashings turn up on all of them sooner or later, wherever they are in Buckinghamshire.

From inner London terraces to Kent oast houses, Sussex tile-hanging and Hampshire thatch, the South East has a huge mix of roofs. Roofs in Buckinghamshire are part of that picture.

Aylesbury: If you run a business near Friars Square, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

How the survey changes by roof type

Chimney stacks

We look at the stack itself, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. If a specialist is needed, we will say so.

Lead flashings and valleys

Most leaks begin at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. They get particular attention in every survey.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Buckinghamshire

We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.

Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.

Before and after the survey

From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:

Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
Check the roof from ground level after storms
Gather any paperwork for past roof work
Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof

File the report with your other home documents. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.

Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.

What a survey does not cover

To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:

Asbestos testing of any kind
Whether the roof structure meets design loads
A full building survey of the property

What affects the cost of roof surveys

Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:

Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Basic, Standard or Premium
How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
The size of the roof

We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

What to tell us when you contact us

We’ll typically ask about:

Any marks or damp showing indoors
Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
When you need the report by
What’s prompted the survey

If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Questions from Buckinghamshire

Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?

No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.

Is Buckinghamshire in your area?

Yes. We carry out roof surveys in Buckinghamshire, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.

Do you use drones?

Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.

Do you inspect the roof from on top?

When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from the ground, windows and the loft space.

What does a roof survey include?

Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.

Which days do you carry out surveys?

Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.

I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?

Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
