How a roof survey works in Horsleys Green
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Each defect is described with photos and a recommendation, and where it’s relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. If you are worried about cracked mortar along the ridge and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on the roof space, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles alike.
In a small place like Horsleys Green, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. 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 frequently the first to give way.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)

Common questions in Horsleys Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Saunderton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Horsleys Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How soon is the report ready?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Only when it is safe. We also use views from ground level, windows and the loft space, and Premium includes a drone where applicable.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It is not a structural engineer’s report and does not include calculations.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Horsleys Green
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. West Wycombe Park House, about 2.7 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Horsleys Green. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Saunderton station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What made you get in touch
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than calling someone out after a storm. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What you get with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- An independent look at the roof
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Surveys for landlords and agents in Horsleys Green
Landlords and agents in Horsleys Green book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
Do you need a roof survey in Horsleys Green?
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. 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.
Common reasons to book include:
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
Take a building like The Mary Towerton School At Studley Green: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
What to check before booking
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Their track record with similar roofs
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
What happens on the day
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Horsleys Green, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint, inside and out.

- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare

- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
