Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Nether Winchendon
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. 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, chimney stacks and the roof space, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are worn or blocked valleys and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles.
Older buildings in small places like Nether Winchendon may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It typically takes about one to two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around Nether Winchendon, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work

When to book a survey in Nether Winchendon
Chimneys stand exposed above the roof. Mortar crumbles, the flaunching around the pots cracks and stacks can lean. Damp on a chimney breast inside frequently starts at the top of the stack.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
The streets around a church such as Parish Church of St Nicholas are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
What to check before booking
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What follow-up you get after the report
Leave it or get it looked at?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. A survey sets a baseline, so you can compare it next time. Older cottages and farmhouses around Nether Winchendon can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: 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.

Common questions in Nether Winchendon
Can a landlord with a rental near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Will you come out to Nether Winchendon?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
