Landlord roof survey in Cryers Hill: what you get
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen and the loft where access is safe. We survey blocks of flats, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or leaning shared chimneys and standing water on a flat roof.
In a village or hamlet like Cryers Hill, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report records the let or shared roof 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.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Cryers Hill, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the exact price before you book.

What we’re asked to look at in Cryers Hill
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. They all age at different rates and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Flashings that have come away
For businesses in and around places such as Eden, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
Questions to ask before booking
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Cryers Hill
Historic houses such as Hughenden Manor, about 1.3 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Cryers Hill goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of the Good Shepherd, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you own a rental within reach of High Wycombe station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It usually takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Cryers Hill, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.

Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
