Questions from Worminghall
Do you cover Worminghall?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Worminghall as anywhere else.
Is my home in Worminghall listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Who normally books a landlord or block roof survey?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
Will you check the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Landlord roof survey in Worminghall
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told ahead of time. Your agent or you arrange access and we will say what we need as you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you are worried about damaged pots and flaunching and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Worminghall, homes are often 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 typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded where we can see them safely.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that is hard to see. We inspect them as far as it is safe to see.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Older roofs in small places like Worminghall can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords and agents in Worminghall book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photos, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
What this survey can’t tell you
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Worminghall
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With Boarstall Tower about 3.8 miles north, Worminghall 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 a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building such as Ickford School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
