About our landlord roof survey in Turville
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need as you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We survey shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters overflowing onto walls and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Some older homes in villages like Turville are 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later.

What else we do in Turville
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Turville
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer.
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Turville, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about parking near the property
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Roof area
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- The address and postcode of the property
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Landlord roof surveys around Turville
Stonor Park, about 2 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Turville. On older houses around here, roofs frequently 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. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a building such as Ibstone CofE Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Turville questions
Is Turville in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Turville is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Turville?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
When to book a survey in Turville
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
