Roof survey in New Denham: what you get
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 seven days a week, so it is easy to find a day that suits. We are often asked to look into ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and flashings that have come away from the wall, across clay and concrete tiles, flat roofs and natural slate.
Some older homes in villages like New Denham are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

How it works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. For a village or hamlet like New Denham, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- 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.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Why get it checked now?
By the time water marks a ceiling, it is frequently been getting in for a while. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. Around New Denham, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Common questions in New Denham
Do you cover smaller places like New Denham?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Are there drone restrictions around New Denham?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Denham Aerodrome is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we can. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as an exact number, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Photograph anything new.
DIY checks: what’s safe
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What a roof survey looks like in New Denham
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Denham Aerodrome is about 3 miles from New Denham. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Pavilions, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. With Ickenham Hall about 2.1 miles east, the area around New Denham has a long history. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. For landlords with property near Denham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Some flat roofs have been coated over several times. If the covering would need opening up to know more, we say so.
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead flashings seal chimneys, walls and abutments. We check for lead that has lifted, split or slipped, and for flashings replaced with mortar or bitumen.
