Roof survey in Rush Green: what you get
We survey roofs in Rush Green and across London and South East England. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photographs and recommendations. Whether it’s a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you’re ready to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. If you’ve noticed torn or sagging underlay and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Rush Green are 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 such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. It is a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. That’s why we check them closely.
Natural slate
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, yet the nails holding it frequently fail long before the slate. We check for slipped, cracked and missing slates.
How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Rural addresses near Rush Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, 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 agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
Getting a price
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Rush Green questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Denham Golf Club station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Rush Green?
Yes. Rush Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. Our report notes any materials that might, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
Do you go up on 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.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
When to book a survey in Rush Green
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while rain gets into every gap. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
Shop and office owners around The Pavilions may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Their insurance cover
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Landlord and commercial surveys in Rush Green
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
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 with less disruption.
What we can’t see
A survey is a proper look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Local roofs in Rush Green
Denham Aerodrome is about 2 miles from Rush Green. If your survey includes the drone, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first. Ickenham Hall, about 3.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Rush Green. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you look after a building such as Denham Village School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For landlords with property near Denham Golf Club station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
