FAQs for Drayton Beauchamp
I let a flat near Tring station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is Drayton Beauchamp within the area you cover?
Yes. Drayton Beauchamp is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
How a landlord roof survey works in Drayton Beauchamp
A roof over tenants or leaseholders frequently gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a written report with photographs that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to see how the roof is changing. If you’re worried about damaged pots and flaunching and flashings that have come away, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and converted houses alike.
Older buildings in small places like Drayton Beauchamp may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Why act early in Drayton Beauchamp
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a small place like Drayton Beauchamp, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Let us know about parking near the property
Arrange a survey
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.

When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Responsibility under a lease
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Rented houses
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Shared roofs
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.

What else we do in Drayton Beauchamp
Landlord roof surveys around Drayton Beauchamp
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. With Cholesbury Manor House about 3.6 miles south-east, Drayton Beauchamp 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, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you live near a park such as Tring Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

When to book a survey in Drayton Beauchamp
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs or when.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Missing or loose roof coverings
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Goldfield Infants' and Nursery School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
