About our roof survey in Furzton
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We look at the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, and the roof space where there is safe access. You get a written report with photographs and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. If you are worried about ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and valley linings that have cracked or split, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Furzton, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings frequently give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Roof surveys in Furzton: local notes
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. The wider area around Furzton has a long history of building, with Bletchley Park about 1.1 miles south-east. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you let a flat or house near Bletchley station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Anyone responsible for a site like Barleyhurst Park Primary will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. One slipped slate lets water reach the battens and underlay, and wet timber starts to decay. Catching it early means less to put right. Around Furzton, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT.

What else we do in Furzton
Furzton: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Bletchley station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Will you come out to Furzton?
Yes. Furzton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe. You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we’ll say so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
Do you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the roof space. On Premium, a drone is used where it applies.
The survey, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. A visit to Furzton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets in another room

When to book a survey in Furzton
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. ‘Nail fatigue’ is common on slate roofs: the nails rust and the slates slide. On tiled roofs, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Torn or sagging underlay
If you run a business near Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
Before booking anyone
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Furzton
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Stay off ladders and the roof
Your report arrives by email. 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.
Don’t block the vents at the eaves. A stuffy loft collects condensation, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
