Roof Survey in Lower Cadsden

Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles are common on older South East homes. Rotten pegs and battens let tiles move, leaving gaps along the courses.
Natural slate
From the loft, we check the underside of a slate roof. Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay, and very old roofs none, and we note its condition.
Roof survey in Lower Cadsden: what you get
We survey roofs in Lower Cadsden and across London and the South East. Visits run on any day of the week. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photographs and recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. When you are ready to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. If you’ve noticed slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and loose chimney pots, we can find out what’s behind it, on clay and concrete tiles, the roof space and natural slate alike.
Older buildings in small places like Lower Cadsden may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Lower Cadsden
Letting agents and landlords in Lower Cadsden book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- File the report with your home documents
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The roof’s overall size
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
What to let us know when you get in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Anything about access we should know
We confirm the exact price before you book, so you know the cost up front. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around Lower Cadsden, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Roof surveys in Lower Cadsden: local notes
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Take a building like Monks Risborough CofE Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Common questions in Lower Cadsden
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Monks Risborough station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Is my home in Lower Cadsden listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What does a roof survey include?
All the main parts of the roof: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
How do I book a survey in Lower Cadsden?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
What we are asked to look at in Lower Cadsden
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and rain finds any gap it can. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
For landlords with property near Monks Risborough station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
