Roof Survey in Saunderton Lee
Independent roof surveys in Saunderton Lee. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Roof survey in Saunderton Lee
There’s no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, others want a check before selling or after years without one. The approach is the same in each case: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run seven days a week, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. If you’ve noticed leaning or weathered chimney stacks and condensation or damp timbers in the loft, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges, hips and valleys, natural slate and lead flashings alike.
Somewhere as small as Saunderton Lee, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Saunderton Lee
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The shape of the roof and its details
- House, block, shop or office
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- When you need the report by
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
When you need someone else
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- A structural engineer’s report
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.

More about roof survey
Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles are common on older South East homes. Rotten pegs and battens let tiles move.
Chimney stacks
Each chimney’s pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.
What a roof survey looks like in Saunderton Lee
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
The streets around a church such as Church of St John the Evangelist are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Landlords with a home close to Saunderton station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. With West Wycombe Park House about 3.6 miles south, the area around Saunderton Lee has a long history. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.

Common questions in Saunderton Lee
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Saunderton Lee?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
I let a flat near Saunderton station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How long does the visit take?
Allow an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
What do you check on a roof survey?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, along with the loft where it is safe. You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Saunderton Lee, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
