About our roof survey in Pitch Green
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Slate often lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, yet nails, battens and underlay often fail first. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. We survey lead flashings, ridges, hips and valleys and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and lifted, split or missing lead flashings.
In a village or hamlet like Pitch Green, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few 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. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

FAQs for Pitch Green
Do you cover smaller places like Pitch Green?
Yes. Pitch Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Pitch Green?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How soon is the report ready?
It depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It is emailed to you.
What does a roof survey include?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
How much does a roof survey cost in Pitch Green?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.

What else we do in Pitch Green
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Pitch Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.

- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.

Advice
Surveys for landlords and agents in Pitch Green
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
What this survey can’t tell you
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Lead flashings
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Natural slate
- The roof space
Local roofs in Pitch Green
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
If you own a rental within reach of Princes Risborough station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Trinity: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Take a building like Princes Risborough School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Different roofs, different checks
Natural slate
Slate is one of the most durable roof coverings, but its nails often corrode first. We check for slipped, cracked and missing slates, and for clips that show past repairs.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Ridge and verge mortar on concrete tile roofs can crack and fall away. We check for loose ridge tiles and missing mortar.
Checking the roof from ground level
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- File the report with your home documents
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- Mention any damp patches as you book
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, while Premium includes a consultation in person. It’s a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Don’t block the vents at the eaves. Condensation builds up when air can’t move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
