About our roof survey in Bletchley
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 roof space where there is safe access. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. If you’re worried about debris building up in roof valleys and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, we can find out what’s behind it, on clay and concrete tiles, lead flashings and ridges, hips and valleys alike.
Most homes in a town like Bletchley are houses, so the roof is usually the owner’s to look after. Small faults, such as a cracked ridge, a slipped tile or a blocked gutter, are cheaper to deal with early. The report sets out what needs attention, prioritised by urgency where relevant, whether you live in the house or let it. Photographs show you exactly what was seen, even on parts you cannot reach yourself.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Roof surveys in Bletchley: local notes
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holne Chase Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. With Bletchley Park about 0.3 miles north, the area around Bletchley has a long history. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. Shop and office owners around Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

Your questions about roof surveys in Bletchley
Is my home in Bletchley listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
I let a flat near Bletchley station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We do not give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
Mortar at ridges and verges often cracks on tiled roofs. We check for loose ridge tiles and missing mortar.
Chimney stacks
Our chimney check is a visual inspection of the stack, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. We’ll tell you if the flue needs a specialist.
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. A typical visit in Bletchley begins with the street side of the roof and then moves round the building. The back garden is often where extensions, dormers and rear slopes are best seen. Then, if it can be reached safely, we look in the loft.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Check we can open the loft hatch
We email the report to you, with photographs of what we found. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Each finding is set out in plain English, with recommendations.
Every so frequently, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Photograph anything new.

Why get it checked now?
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from ground level. That can lead to the wrong work being done, or to a real problem being missed. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. On homes in Bletchley, the joint between an extension and the house is where a slow leak tends to start. A few wet winters later, it can mean new plaster and decorating as well as roof work.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.
What you get with us
- Prices that include VAT
- Every finding written up with photos
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Two decades and more of roof surveys

Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
