No self-survey forms

Free Solar Panel Survey in the Chilterns

Before we quote for any solar installation, we visit your property in person. We check your roof orientation, pitch, and shading, and review your electricity usage to size the right system for your home. You do not fill in any forms or upload your own photos. We do the assessment ourselves and give you a fixed quote on the day. Free with no obligation. Call 01494 977298 to book your survey.

What we check on your roof

What does a solar panel site survey involve?

We visit your property and carry out a full roof assessment. We check the pitch and orientation of your roof relative to south, identify any shading from chimney stacks, trees, or neighbouring buildings, and assess the structural condition of the roof to confirm it is suitable for panels. We also check your loft space and consumer unit to plan the cabling route for the inverter and battery if required.

Most surveys take 45 to 60 minutes. At the end, we discuss the right system size for your usage, give you a clear breakdown of the costs, and explain the Smart Export Guarantee payments you can expect.

  • Roof orientation and pitch assessment
  • Shading analysis across the full day

CEG vs national installers

Why do national solar installers send self-survey forms?

Most national solar companies ask you to upload your own photos, fill in a form about your roof, and estimate your own electricity usage. They use that information to generate an online quote. The problem is that no two roofs are identical. Shading from a chimney that is slightly out of frame on your photo, a structural issue that only becomes visible from the loft, an undersized consumer unit. All of these get missed in a self-survey and surface as extra costs after you have signed a contract.

We visit every property before quoting. A CEG engineer carries out the survey, assesses the job accurately, and gives you a fixed price. If anything needs attention before we can proceed, we tell you before you commit.

  • No self-survey forms ever
  • Fixed price agreed before any work starts
  • Shading and structural checks done in person
  • A CEG engineer carries out every survey personally

What homeowners ask about our solar surveys

Yes. The survey is completely free and carries no obligation. We visit your property, carry out the full roof and electrical assessment, and give you a written quote. If you decide not to proceed, there is no charge.
Most surveys take 45 to 60 minutes. We check the roof, loft space, and consumer unit, and spend time at the end going through the quote and answering your questions.
Yes. Our engineer needs access to your loft space and consumer unit as well as the exterior of the property. We work around your schedule and aim to offer survey slots within 5 to 10 working days of your enquiry.
Nothing. We do not ask you to fill in forms or provide photos in advance. We gather everything we need during the visit.
Yes. If you are interested in solar and battery storage together, we assess both during the same survey and quote for the combined system. This is usually the most cost-effective approach.
