Your questions about flat roof surveys in Tyler's Hill
Is Tyler's Hill in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Tyler's Hill is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Tyler's Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
How do I book a survey in Tyler's Hill?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do you survey commercial flat roofs?
Yes. Offices, units, shops and blocks of flats are all part of our work. We quote bigger roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so please ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Which flat roof coverings do you cover?
We survey felt and built-up roofs, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply PVC and TPO. Not sure what yours is? We will tell you in the report.
About our flat roof survey in Tyler's Hill
Ponding is often the first sign that something on a flat roof isn’t right. It can mean the falls were never right, an outlet is blocked or the deck has started to sag. The survey notes any ponding, the state of each outlet and any dips that hint at a sagging deck. If the deck itself looks like a structural concern, we will recommend a structural engineer. We survey EPDM rubber, felt flat roofs and mastic asphalt, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose or cracked edge trims and pools of water lying on the roof.
In a small place like Tyler's Hill, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Most flat roofs are out of sight, so they’re easy to forget. Owners often learn the roof is at the end of its life only when it leaks. A survey every few years stops that from catching you out. Around Tyler's Hill, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs or two real surveys.
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- House, block, shop or office
- How big the roof is
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What to tell us when you contact us
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- What made you get in touch
- When you need the report by
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.
How the survey works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Around Tyler's Hill, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that is safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
Getting a price
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

Flat roof surveys in Tyler's Hill: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. The wider area around Tyler's Hill has a long history of building, with Chenies Manor House about 3 miles south-east. 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 you own a rental within reach of Amersham station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. If you live in an older home near St George's Church, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. Anyone responsible for a site like Ley Hill School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

Checking the roof from ground level
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Different roofs, different checks
EPDM rubber
Rubber roofs can shrink back from their edges or lift where the adhesive has failed. We record any we can see, with photographs.
Mastic asphalt
Asphalt roofs are common on older flats, walkways and commercial buildings. The survey checks for crazing, cracking, blistering and splits where the asphalt turns up the walls.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Tyler's Hill
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
