How a flat roof survey works in Tylers Green
We inspect a flat roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from the roof itself where that is safe, from windows and nearby vantage points, and from inside where there is access. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on. If part of the roof can’t be seen or reached safely, the report says so, so you know exactly what was covered. We are frequently asked to look into outlets choked with leaves and silt and damaged trims at the roof edge, across GRP fibreglass, single-ply membranes and felt flat roofs.
Around a smaller place like Tylers Green, flat roofs normally cover extensions, garages and dormers. Even a small flat roof can let lots of water into the room below. What it’s covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs, from felt and asphalt to EPDM rubber and GRP. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Flat roofs in Tylers Green
With Hughenden Manor about 2.4 miles west, Tylers Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. 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. Next to the main roofs there is usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
Take a building like Manor Farm Community Infant School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. For landlords with property near High Wycombe station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Eden, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.
Tylers Green is about 2 miles north-east of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. Surveys in Tylers Green work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Tylers Green is one of the places in Buckinghamshire where we work for flat roof surveys. Reading is in our area too.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.

What else we do in Tylers Green
What happens if roof problems are left?
Standing water on a flat roof rarely sorts itself out. Most often it means blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is dipping, and each wet season wears the covering further. Knowing the cause early gives you more choice over what to do. In an older home around Tylers Green, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking.

The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes an hour or two at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Parking around Tylers Green is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- You tell us about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
- We view the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof where it’s safe to do so.
- Every part of the roof we can see is checked: covering, falls, upstands, outlets, trims and rooflights.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations and emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Advice
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Book a survey every few years
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
- Check new fixings through the roof are properly sealed
You can use the report to ask roofers to quote for the same work. Because everyone is pricing the same findings, the quotes are easier to compare. You stay in control of who does the work and when.
Try not to let a flat roof become a walkway. If access is needed, boards or walkways help protect the covering, and to keep well clear of rooflights and fragile sheeting.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Questions from Tylers Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Tylers Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Tylers Green in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Tylers Green as anywhere else.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you check flat roofs for asbestos?
We do not carry out asbestos surveys. Older buildings, from before 2000, may have asbestos in cement sheets or soffits. We note anything that could contain it, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check it before it is disturbed.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
