Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bradenham
Our roof surveys cover Bradenham and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photographs and recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us. If you’ve noticed loose ridge or hip tiles and flashings that have come away from the wall, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Bradenham, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What affects the price in Bradenham
To price your survey, we look at:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: 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.

FAQs for Bradenham
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Saunderton station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building.
Will you come out to Bradenham?
Yes, Bradenham is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We don’t give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it’s wearing, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older rural homes like those around Bradenham can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Bradenham
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Roof surveys around Bradenham
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. West Wycombe Park House, about 1.8 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bradenham. 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.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Eden, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Landlords with a home close to Saunderton station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What else we do in Bradenham
What we are asked to look at in Bradenham
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Lead is also a target for theft.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Debris building up in roof valleys
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Naphill and Walters Ash School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Roof by roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Mortar at ridges and verges often cracks on tiled roofs. Loose ridges and gaps in the mortar are recorded, as wind can lift them.
Flat roof coverings
Some flat roofs have been coated over several times. We say what we can see and when a closer look would need opening up.
