Roof Survey in Stubbings
Roof surveys in Stubbings from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. It makes the next steps much clearer.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
About our roof survey in Stubbings
We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where conditions allow. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where it applies, a drone, for roofs that are hard to see well. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. Common reasons to book are cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and flashings that have come away from the wall, across the roof space, chimney stacks and ridges, hips and valleys.
Somewhere as small as Stubbings, homes are often 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 everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Stubbings: your questions answered
Are there drone restrictions around Stubbings?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Stubbings is about 2 miles from White Waltham Airfield, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, and the rest of the survey doesn’t depend on the drone.
Is Stubbings within the area you cover?
Yes, Stubbings is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
Can you survey at the weekend?
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 you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. Our report notes any materials that might, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Prices for roof surveys in Stubbings
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
For a price for your roof in Stubbings, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
When you are ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Different roofs, different checks
Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we check them too. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
Chimney stacks
We look at the stack itself, and it is not a flue or gas safety check. We will tell you if the flue needs a specialist.
Local roofs in Stubbings
Historic houses such as Harleyford Manor, about 2.2 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Stubbings goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. White Waltham Airfield is about 2 miles from Stubbings. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you live in an older home near Church of St. James the Less, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For landlords with property near Furze Platt station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

The survey, step by step
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Stubbings, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

Why get it checked now?
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. When they do, water comes straight into the house. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. Around Stubbings, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we can help you choose.
