Prices for roof surveys in Whitchurch
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

Roof survey in Whitchurch
Our roof surveys cover Whitchurch and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear 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 use the contact form. If you’ve noticed blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and leaning or weathered chimney stacks, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, chimney stacks and ridges, hips and valleys alike.
Older buildings in small places like Whitchurch may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Whitchurch questions
I let a flat near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is my home in Whitchurch listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do I need to be at home?
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.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It is not a structural engineer’s report and doesn’t include calculations.
What does a roof survey include?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, along with the loft where it’s safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Do you work in Whitchurch?
Yes. We survey roofs in Whitchurch and the rest of Buckinghamshire, as part of our work across London and South East England. To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How quickly will I get the report?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Whitchurch homes and their roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Whitchurch Combined School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Aylesbury Vale Parkway station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Around Whitchurch

What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.

What else we do in Whitchurch
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older rural homes like those around Whitchurch can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- 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.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Stay off ladders and the roof
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, while Premium includes a consultation in person. You can ask us about anything that isn’t clear.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Our chimney check is a visual inspection of the stack, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. If a specialist is needed, we’ll say so.
Natural slate
Slate is common on older homes in London and South East England. Where several slates have slipped, the cause is frequently nail fatigue, which we describe in the report.
