Local roofs in New Denham
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. With Ickenham Hall about 2.1 miles east, New Denham sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For landlords with property near Denham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Take an older house close to St Francis: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Anyone responsible for a site like Hermitage Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in New Denham
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover New Denham and the rest of London and South East England. A visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a report with photographs. If you are worried about chimney stacks in poor repair and leaks into upper flats, we can find out what’s behind it, on rented houses, converted houses and shared roofs alike.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why it is worth a survey now in New Denham
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. Older cottages and farmhouses around New Denham can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

- 5,000+ roofs surveyed

New Denham: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in New Denham?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Can a landlord with a rental near Denham station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
What does a roof survey cost?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies.
What we look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
Damp in a chimney breast can start at the top of the stack. We note what we can see.
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. Any problems are photographed.
How it works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is 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 normally takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like New Denham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, 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’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Note where any stains or damp appear
How to book
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Can I check my roof myself?
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, as it helps us focus the survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
