Roof survey in Denham
Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photographs and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Every package includes a written report. Typical surveys look at crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and leaking gutter joints and downpipes, on chimney stacks, the roof space and lead flashings.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. 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.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Do you need a roof survey in Denham?
Some damage starts inside the loft space. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, wetting timbers and insulation. It’s often mistaken for a leak.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
Anyone responsible for a site like Denham Village School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
What to check before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Their insurance cover
- When you will get the report
- Whether VAT is added on top
Useful tips for Denham property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Keep the roof space ventilated. A stuffy loft collects condensation, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Make sure insulation does not block the airflow at the eaves.
What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Around Denham, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, so you can compare it next time. For older village homes like those around Denham, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Roof surveys around Denham

If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
