Your questions about roof surveys in Bucks Horn Oak
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is Bucks Horn Oak within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.

No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we will say so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.

How a roof survey works in Bucks Horn Oak
Across London and South East England, roofs differ widely. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. We survey chimney stacks, ridges, hips and valleys and clay and concrete tiles, and people most often book us about blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and worn lead at chimneys and abutments.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What else we do in Bucks Horn Oak
Landlords, agents and block managers in Bucks Horn Oak
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Older roofs in small places like Bucks Horn Oak 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 the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Arrange a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

How we price roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- House, block, shop or office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Height and safe access
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Anything about access we should know
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Signs you need a roof survey in Bucks Horn Oak
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while rain gets into every gap. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Loose chimney pots
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Saint James, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What experience they bring
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Are they insured for the work?
Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
When you need someone else
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
