Roof survey in Baker's Wood: what you get
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the loft space where there is safe access. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. If you’re worried about ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and debris building up in roof valleys, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a small place like Baker's Wood, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What happens on the day
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around Baker's Wood, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.

Advice
What you can safely check yourself
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
What a roof survey looks like in Baker's Wood
Baker's Wood is about 2 miles from Denham Aerodrome. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Historic houses such as Ickenham Hall, about 3.4 miles east, show how far back building around Baker's Wood goes. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. If you let a flat or house near Denham Golf Club station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Denham Village School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Useful tips for Baker's Wood property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Let us know about past leaks
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. You can ask us about anything that is not clear.
Every so often, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Photograph anything new.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Before you put a home on the market, it’s useful to know the roof’s condition. You can deal with defects before a buyer’s surveyor finds them. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Baker's Wood, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Why us?
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Satisfaction rate of 98%

Baker's Wood: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Denham Golf Club station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Is my home in Baker's Wood listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
