About our roof survey in Richings Park
We survey roofs in Richings Park and across London and South East England. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. When you’re ready to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We survey flat roofs, natural slate and ridges, hips and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles.
Older buildings in small places like Richings Park 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. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Checking the roof from the ground
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
What we do, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a hamlet or village like Richings Park, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Do you need a roof survey in Richings Park?
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building.
Problems we come across often include:
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
Frogmore House lies about 4.2 miles south-west, so building around Richings Park goes back a long way. If your house is among the older ones, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Which limits apply to the survey

Older cottages and farmhouses around Richings Park can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.

Roof surveys in Richings Park: local notes
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Richings Park is inside, or right on the edge of, the flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport. Where the drone is part of the survey, we ask the airport for permission first, and only fly if it is given.
Landlords with a home close to Iver station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Langley Heritage Primary, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted.

What does a roof survey include?
All the main parts of the roof: 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?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
