Roof survey in Pinkneys Green: what you get
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, 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 it applies. Each one comes with a written report. If you’ve noticed slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and worn lead at chimneys and abutments, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, the roof space and lead flashings alike.
Around Pinkneys Green, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes frequently need the most attention. The fixings under an older roof frequently fail before good slates or tiles do.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Common questions in Pinkneys Green
Will you come out to Pinkneys Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Pinkneys Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Will you climb onto the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from the ground, windows and the loft space.
What does a roof survey include?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, plus the loft space where there’s safe access. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Honest limits
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- A full building survey of the property
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future

Roof surveys in Pinkneys Green: local notes
Pinkneys Green is about 3 miles from White Waltham Airfield. If the drone is used for your survey, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. James the Less, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Take a building like Courthouse Junior School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

How the survey changes by roof type
Natural slate
Many Victorian and Edwardian houses have slate roofs. Where several slates have slipped, the cause is often nail fatigue, which we describe in the report.
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber often lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.

What else we do in Pinkneys Green
The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Pinkneys Green, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Common roof problems in Pinkneys Green
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, and rain finds any gap it can. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Common reasons to book include:
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
For landlords with property near Furze Platt station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
