About our roof survey in Round Bush
Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photographs and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Each one comes with a written report. Typical surveys look at valley linings that have cracked or split and leaking gutter joints and downpipes, across flat roofs, ridges, hips and valleys and natural slate.
Somewhere as small as Round Bush, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some 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. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Useful tips for Round Bush property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- File the report with your home documents
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. That helps you decide what to do first.
Every so frequently, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Take photos of anything that changes.
Round Bush homes and their roofs
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Elstree Aerodrome is about 2 miles from Round Bush. Where the drone is part of the survey, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first.
Homes near green spaces such as Garston Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For businesses in and around places such as Harlequin Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

For older village homes like those around Round Bush, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Honest limits
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- An exact number of years the roof has left
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Round Bush can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

Advice
Your questions about roof surveys in Round Bush
I let a flat near Radlett station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Is Round Bush within the area you cover?
Yes. Round Bush is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It does not include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Will you climb onto the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft.
How long will you be at the property?
The visit typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. We will give you an idea of timing as you book.
