What happens if roof problems are left?
A leak rarely stays small. Damp spreads into rafters, ceilings and insulation. Tracing it now means less to put right later. Around Weston Turville, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for your roof before booking.

About our roof leak investigation in Weston Turville
On a flat roof, water can travel a long way under the covering. Common causes are splits and blisters, tired upstands and outlets that don’t drain. Standing water puts extra pressure on every weak point. We check both the covering and the room underneath. Leaks under flat extension, garage and dormer roofs are common. An ageing felt roof is a frequent culprit. If you’ve noticed water marks that spread in wet weather and leaks at a dormer or roof window, we can find out what’s behind it.
Houses in smaller places like Weston Turville can stand more in the open, so wind and driving rain find any weakness in ridges, verges and flashings. If a leak shows only when the wind is in a certain direction, that is a useful clue. Let us know when it happens when you get in touch. Gutters and downpipes on the exposed side are worth a look as well.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Roof by roof
Flat roof upstands and outlets
Upstands seal the edge of a flat roof where it meets a wall. If it is too low, cracked or poorly dressed, water gets behind it.
Parapet and box gutters
Parapet and box gutters sit behind walls or inside the roof. When their outlets block, water rises over the lining and runs indoors.
Roof leak investigations in Weston Turville: local notes
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Landlords with a home close to Stoke Mandeville station may find that tracing a leak quickly matters when a tenant is living with it. The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in. If you look after a building such as Weston Turville Church of England School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

FAQs for Weston Turville
Is Weston Turville in the area you cover?
Yes, Weston Turville is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is my home in Weston Turville listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey 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.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photographs. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
What you can safely check yourself
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
