Roof Survey in Hundridge
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings across Hundridge, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Let us know about past leaks
- Stay off ladders and the roof
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
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.
Roof survey in Hundridge
We inspect what can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where conditions allow. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where it applies, 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’re worried about worn lead at chimneys and abutments and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on the roof space, flat roofs and clay and concrete tiles alike.
Somewhere as small as Hundridge, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and wet timber starts to decay. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. Older and listed buildings around Hundridge may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why us?
- Package prices that include VAT
- An independent view of the roof
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed

What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
What affects the price in Hundridge
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
What to tell us when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Anything about access we should know
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

When you need someone else
It helps to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)

Hundridge questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Great Missenden station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Will you come out to Hundridge?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do you go up on the roof?
Where it’s safe, yes. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where it applies.
What do you check on a roof survey?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Roof surveys around Hundridge
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Cholesbury Manor House, about 3.4 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hundridge. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. For landlords with property near Great Missenden station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Take a building like Hyde Heath Infant School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.

- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
