How a roof survey works in Aston Clinton
We inspect what can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it’s safe. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where applicable, for roofs that are hard to see well. You do not need to do anything except give us access. Everything we see is photographed for the report. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs and lead flashings, and people most often book us about ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved.
Around Aston Clinton, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are usually where the work is, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings frequently give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead-lined valleys and gutters are common on older homes. Worn or split lead lets water straight in, and lead is a target for theft.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Ridge and verge mortar on concrete tile roofs can crack and fall away. We check for loose ridge tiles and missing mortar.

Why it is worth a survey now in Aston Clinton
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than calling someone out after a storm. Homes in smaller places like Aston Clinton can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

Local roofs in Aston Clinton
Aston Clinton is about 1 mile from RAF Halton. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. With Cholesbury Manor House about 4.5 miles south-east, Aston Clinton sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like Aston Clinton School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Landlords with a home close to Stoke Mandeville station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you run a business near Friars Square, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

Your questions about roof surveys in Aston Clinton
How do I find out if my home in Aston Clinton is listed?
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 cover smaller places like Aston Clinton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We do not put a figure on it, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
How long does a roof survey take?
It typically takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Report times depend on the package.
The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Parking around Aston Clinton is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
