Chimney survey in Tylers Green, Buckinghamshire
A survey of chimney stacks, pots, flashings and flaunching in Tylers Green, using drones and thermal imaging where applicable. Call or email for a price.
- Damaged chimney pots and cowls
- Bricks with flaking faces
- Mortar washing out of the joints
How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings
Flashings can lift in wind or pull out of their mortar joints. We photograph any we find that look loose or damaged.
Rendered stacks
Cracked render can let water in and trap it behind. We record any cracking and where it is.
Chimney surveys for homes and businesses in Tylers Green
On terraced and semi-detached houses, a chimney stack is frequently shared with next door. We inspect the parts we can see safely and the parts the owner gives us access to. If a defect appears to be on the neighbour’s side, we note it and you can then discuss it with them. Everything is written up with photos and what we recommend. We’re often asked to look into staining on walls around the chimney and flashings pulling away from the stack, across flaunching, chimney pots and cowls and chimney breasts.
In a smaller place like Tylers Green, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
The report records the chimney stack as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Tylers Green
A loose pot or brick can fall from height. A survey picks them out so they can be made safe by a roofer. In an older home around Tylers Green, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

What happens on the day
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, as part of a look at the roof around the stack. Homes around Tylers Green often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We go through the chimneys, any damp and any work done on them.
- Each stack is inspected from safe positions outside.
- We photograph and record the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings.
- Inside, the chimney breasts and the loft are checked for damp where there’s access.
- The report, with photos and recommendations, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets in another room
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to book
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.

Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Don’t use a ladder to reach the stack yourself
- Have brackets on the chimney checked
- Use the report as a baseline for future checks
- Photograph damp patches with the date
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Have aerial and dish brackets on the stack checked and taken off if they’re no longer needed. Removing unused fixings takes strain off the brickwork.

Tylers Green homes and their roofs
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. About 2.4 miles west lies Hughenden Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Tylers Green has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Take a building like Manor Farm Community Infant School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Eden, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. If you let a flat or house near High Wycombe station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Height and safe access
- The shape of the roof and its details
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

For a price for chimney surveys in Tylers Green, ring 07833 053749 or email us. A few details about the property and the roof help us price the survey accurately.
Can I check my roof myself?
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Your questions about chimney surveys in Tylers Green
Is Tylers Green within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Tylers Green listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We will confirm the timing when you book.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Is a chimney survey the same as a flue inspection?
No. Our survey covers the outside of the stack and the roof around it. The flue should be checked by a sweep, or by a Gas Safe registered engineer for gas appliances.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
What’s in the survey report?
Written findings with photographs, explaining the condition of the chimney stack, any defects and our recommendations. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
