Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hunt's Green
Many homes have several roofs, not just one. Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers are common in felt, EPDM rubber, GRP or asphalt. They’re included alongside the main roof, including signs of standing water, splits and tired upstands. Flat roofs often need attention long before the main roof, so they deserve a careful look. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. Typical surveys look at worn lead at chimneys and abutments and standing water on a flat roof, across clay and concrete tiles, natural slate and ridges, hips and valleys.
Older buildings in small places like Hunt's 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

Hunt's Green: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hunt's Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Great Missenden station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details as you book.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It isn’t a structural engineer’s report and doesn’t include calculations.
How long does a roof survey take?
Allow an hour or two on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are checked from your side.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Hunt's Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Getting ready for the survey

Advice
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. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What you get with us
- An independent look at the roof
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance

What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts with the stack outside. We look for the likely route in.
Flat roof coverings
Repeated coatings can hide what’s underneath. If the covering would need opening up to know more, we say so.
Hunt's Green homes and their roofs
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. With Cholesbury Manor House about 2.9 miles north-east, Hunt's Green sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Great Missenden station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you live in an older home near Old Church of St John the Baptist, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Take a building like Lee Common Church of England School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
