Leave it or get it looked at?
Before you put a home on the market, it helps to know the roof’s condition. You’ll know what a buyer’s survey might pick up, or at least know what to expect. Older cottages and farmhouses around Burchett's Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.

Roof survey in Burchett's Green
Roofs vary a lot across London and South East England. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. Typical surveys look at worn or blocked valleys and leaning or weathered chimney stacks, across chimney stacks, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings.
Older buildings in small places like Burchett's Green may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What a roof survey looks like in Burchett's Green
The wider area around Burchett's Green has a long history of building, with Harleyford Manor about 2.1 miles north. 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. White Waltham Airfield is about 2 miles from Burchett's Green. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Anyone responsible for a site like Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Saint John the Evangelist, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you let a flat or house near Furze Platt station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a hamlet or village like Burchett's Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
How to prepare
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Let us know about parking near the property

What affects the price in Burchett's Green
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Roof area
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- What’s prompted the survey
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- The property’s address and postcode
- When you need the report by
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
What we look for on each type of roof
Natural slate
From the loft, we look at the underside of a slate roof. There may be old felt underlay, or none at all on very old roofs, and we note its condition.
Chimney stacks
Damp on a chimney breast inside frequently starts with the stack outside. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
Your questions about roof surveys in Burchett's Green
Are there drone restrictions around Burchett's Green?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. White Waltham Airfield is about 2 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
Is Burchett's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Burchett's Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we’ll say so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Mention any damp patches when booking
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
We email the report to you. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Each finding is set out in plain English, with recommendations.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
