About our roof survey in Beamond End
Our roof surveys cover Beamond End and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, chimney stacks and clay and concrete tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are lifted, split or missing lead flashings and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching.
In a small place like Beamond End, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- File the report with your home documents
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Look at your roof from the ground after strong winds. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Height and safe access
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Anything about access we should know

What happens if roof problems are left?
If you are planning to sell, a roof survey can help you prepare. You’ll know what a buyer’s survey might pick up. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Beamond End: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Beamond End is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Beamond End?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it is agreed before booking.
When will the report arrive?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photos.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. For a village or hamlet like Beamond End, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Book a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Beamond End
Historic houses such as Hughenden Manor, about 3.5 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Beamond End goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of the Holy Trinity, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Take a building like Holmer Green Junior School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
