Roof survey in Shreding Green: what you get
Roofs vary a lot across London and South East England. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. We survey natural slate, chimney stacks and clay and concrete tiles, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are water stains on rafters and ceiling joists and leaking gutter joints and downpipes.
In a village or hamlet like Shreding Green, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few 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’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

For landlords and managing agents
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 around your tenants.
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.
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How big the roof is
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Helping us price your survey
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Roof surveys around Shreding Green
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. The wider area around Shreding Green has a long history of building, with Windsor Castle about 4 miles south-west. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Langley station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Iver Village Junior School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you run a business near The Pavilions, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)

How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take between one and two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Shreding Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.

How to prepare

What you can safely check yourself
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Your questions about roof surveys in Shreding Green
Will you come out to Shreding Green?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Langley station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
What do you check on a roof survey?
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 applicable.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. Our report notes any materials that might, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, like serious sagging, we’ll say so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
