Landlord roof survey in Tyler's Hill: what you get
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. If you are worried about choked outlets and gutters and cracked or lifting flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Tyler's Hill, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some 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 normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How big the roof is
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

What else we do in Tyler's Hill
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

Landlord roof surveys in Tyler's Hill: local notes
The wider area around Tyler's Hill has a long history of building, with Chenies Manor House about 3 miles south-east. 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 any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you live in an older home near St George's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ley Hill School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For landlords with property near Amersham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Tyler's Hill, the journey is planned beforehand: 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 agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s 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 we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
How to book
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or email us. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Advice
Tyler's Hill questions
Is Tyler's Hill within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Tyler's Hill is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No. Our survey covers the roof, not the whole building. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
