Roof survey in Wooburn Common: what you get
Our roof surveys cover Wooburn Common and the wider South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability, and bring 20+ years’ experience. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We survey clay and concrete tiles, lead flashings and natural slate, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking gutter joints and downpipes and lifted, split or missing lead flashings.
In a small place like Wooburn Common, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How big the roof is
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.

Local roofs in Wooburn Common
With Cliveden about 1.8 miles south-west, Wooburn Common sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take an older house close to Church of St Paul: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For landlords with property near Bourne End station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wooburn Green Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Why it is worth a survey now in Wooburn Common
Leaks rarely show up right away. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. Older and listed buildings around Wooburn Common may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.

What we look for on each type of roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They’re heavy and hard-wearing, but their surfaces weather over the years.
Flat roof coverings
Repeated coatings can hide what’s underneath. We say what we can see and when a closer look would need opening up.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
What this survey can’t tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- A full building survey of the property
- A structural engineer’s report
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- Lead flashings
- Natural slate

Wooburn Common questions
Do you cover smaller places like Wooburn Common?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Bourne End station?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the building.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we will say so. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it’s wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Rural addresses near Wooburn Common can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- 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
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
