How a roof survey works in Iver Heath
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, others want a check before selling or after years without one. The approach is the same in each case: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run on any day of the week, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. We survey the roof space, clay and concrete tiles and natural slate, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters that overflow in heavy rain and torn or sagging underlay.
Around Iver Heath, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. 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 often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

How we price roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How big the roof is
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Questions from Iver Heath
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Iver Heath?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Iver Heath is about 2 miles from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Can a landlord with a rental near Iver station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It does not include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
How quickly will I get the report?
It depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It is emailed to you.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Standing water, blisters and splits all point to wear. We also look at the edges, upstands and outlets.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Tile-hanging on walls and dormer cheeks is checked as part of the roof where it is relevant. Gaps in tile-hanging let water reach the wall behind.
What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. A visit to a smaller place like Iver Heath is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What this survey covers
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Flat roofs
- Natural slate
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Lead flashings
- Chimney stacks
- The roof space
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Mention any damp patches when booking
- File the report with your home documents
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
We email the report to you, with photos of what we found. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Each finding is set out in plain English, with recommendations.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
Roof surveys in Iver Heath: local notes
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Iver Heath is about 2 miles from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport. Where the drone is part of the survey, the exact boundary is checked for the address first.
For landlords with property near Iver station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Take an older house close to Church of St Margaret: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building such as Iver Heath Infant School and Nursery, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
