Green Hailey: your questions answered
Will you come out to Green Hailey?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
I let a flat near Monks Risborough station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We do not put a figure on it, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Roof survey in Green Hailey: what you get
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. The approach is the same in each case: a careful look, then a clear written report. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. We survey natural slate, the roof space and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters that overflow in heavy rain and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, 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.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Tips that help
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, while Premium includes a consultation in person. You can ask us about anything that is not clear.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Green Hailey
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Green Hailey homes and their roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If you own a rental within reach of Monks Risborough station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Monks Risborough CofE Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. The streets around a church such as Church of St Dunstan are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

How the survey works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Somewhere as small as Green Hailey, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day

How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted, particularly at the verges and ridge.
Flat roof coverings
Felt flat roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, EPDM rubber around 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
