Roof survey in Fleet Marston, Buckinghamshire
A careful look at the roof at your property in Fleet Marston, with photos and a written report.
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. We look for lifted, cracked or slipped tiles.
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack, as far as we can safely see them. We note any lean or loose pots.
How a roof survey works in Fleet Marston
The report is written for you, in plain language. Each defect is described with photos and a recommendation, and where it’s relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, the roof space and flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Village roofs often 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What a roof survey looks like in Fleet Marston
The wider area around Fleet Marston has a long history of building, with Waddesdon Manor about 3.1 miles west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
The streets around a church like St Mary's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Friars Square, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Landlords with a home close to Aylesbury Vale Parkway station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Prices for roof surveys in Fleet Marston
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Helping us price your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The kind of building and roof involved
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Fleet Marston can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
