Roof Survey in Burnham Green
Not sure what state the roof is in? You can book a roof survey in Burnham Green and across Hertfordshire.
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Torn or sagging underlay
What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Roof survey in Burnham Green: what you get
We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it is safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone, for roofs that are hard to see well. You do not need to do anything except give us access. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. If you are worried about ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Burnham 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.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Burnham Green
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. The wider area around Burnham Green has a long history of building, with Digswell House about 1.9 miles south-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Welwyn North station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take a building like Monk's Walk School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Shop and office owners around Howard Centre may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.

Prices for roof surveys in Burnham Green
To price your survey, we look at:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Roof area
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The shape of the roof and its details
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
We’ll usually ask about:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
When you’re ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. An overflow there sends water indoors. We check them before they cause trouble. For an older or listed building in a place like Burnham Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Photos and a written report every time

Questions from Burnham Green
How do I find out if my home in Burnham Green is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Burnham Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Burnham Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. Our report notes any materials that might, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
How long will you be at the property?
On site, it normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Report times depend on the package.
What does a roof survey cost?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Burnham Green, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Advice

- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- An exact number of years the roof has left
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
