Roof survey in Seer Green: what you get
Our roof surveys cover Seer Green and the wider South East. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photographs and recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us. If you’ve noticed condensation or damp timbers in the loft and valley linings that have cracked or split, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on clay and concrete tiles, lead flashings and ridges, hips and valleys alike.
In a village or hamlet like Seer Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently 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 normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What affects the price in Seer Green
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- House, block, shop or office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
What to let us know when you contact us
What helps most when you contact us:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Why act early in Seer Green
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, so you can compare it next time. For older village homes like those around Seer Green, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.

- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Visits on any day of the week
- Over 20 years’ experience

Questions from Seer Green
Do you cover smaller places like Seer Green?
Yes, Seer Green is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do I find out if my home in Seer Green is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How quickly will I get the report?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photos.
How long will you be at the property?
On site, it usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Seer Green homes and their roofs
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of Holy Trinity, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Landlords with a home close to Seer Green & Jordans station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Keep the report with your property records
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Let us know about past leaks
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Keep the loft space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air cannot move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
What we do, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Seer Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Let us know about parking near the property
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before booking. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Flat roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Lead flashings
- Natural slate
- Clay and concrete tiles
- The roof space
Common roof problems in Seer Green
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors, especially near trees.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Worn or blocked valleys
Take a building like Seer Green Church of England School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
