About our roof survey in Cadmore End
Roofs vary a lot across London and the South East. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Every part gets the attention it needs. If you’re worried about debris building up in roof valleys and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Roof surveys in Cadmore End: local notes
Cadmore End is about 3 miles from Wycombe Air Park. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. About 2.8 miles east lies West Wycombe Park House, a reminder of how long the area around Cadmore End has been built on. 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.
For landlords with property near Saunderton station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you look after a building such as Cadmore End CofE School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Common questions in Cadmore End
Is my home in Cadmore End listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Cadmore End?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
What do you check on a roof survey?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We do not provide structural calculations.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Prices for roof surveys in Cadmore End
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What to let us know when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The address and postcode of the property
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Unsure which package suits your roof? It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
When to book a survey in Cadmore End
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building, especially near trees.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Loose chimney pots
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary Le Moor, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. For a village or hamlet like Cadmore End, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Getting a price
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Mention any damp patches when booking
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
What we can’t see
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.
