About our roof survey in Little Brickhill
Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Every package includes a written report. We survey flat roofs, clay and concrete tiles and lead flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are valley linings that have cracked or split and flashings that have come away from the wall.
In a small place like Little Brickhill, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. 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.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Little Brickhill
By the time water marks a ceiling, it’s frequently been getting in for a while. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. For older village homes like those around Little Brickhill, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

What a roof survey looks like in Little Brickhill
About 3 miles west lies Bletchley Park, a reminder of how long the area around Little Brickhill has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary Magdalen are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sir Herbert Leon Academy, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you own a rental within reach of Bow Brickhill station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Questions from Little Brickhill
How do I find out if my home in Little Brickhill is listed?
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 Little Brickhill?
Yes. Little Brickhill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How much does a roof survey cost in Little Brickhill?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We also inspect from ground level, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. On Premium, a drone is used where applicable.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.

What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What affects the price in Little Brickhill
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The roof’s overall size
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
