About our landlord roof survey in Turnfurlong
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. If you’ve noticed damaged pots and flaunching and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Around Turnfurlong, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Roof by roof

Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Turnfurlong
How do I find out if my home in Turnfurlong is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
I let a flat near Aylesbury station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs are not included, but contractors can price from it.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.

What else we do in Turnfurlong
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It typically takes an hour or two for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a smaller place like Turnfurlong, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later helping you spread the work. On a bungalow or cottage around Turnfurlong, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Turnfurlong
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition and how soon.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Leaks into upper flats
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
If you look after a building such as Turnfurlong Junior School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Landlord roof surveys around Turnfurlong
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.
Shop and office owners around Friars Square may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
