What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. For a survey in Queens Park, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Jot down any questions you want answered

About our roof survey in Queens Park
The report is written for you, in plain language. Each defect is described with photos and a 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 applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. If you are worried about torn or sagging underlay and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on the roof space, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings alike.
Houses in smaller places like Queens Park can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Questions from Queens Park
Is my home in Queens Park listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Aylesbury station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the loft space where there is safe access. You get a written report with photographs and recommendations.
Is Queens Park in your area?
Yes. We cover Queens Park and the rest of Buckinghamshire, as part of our work across London and South East England. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. Our report notes any materials that might, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.

Useful tips for Queens Park property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Check we can open the loft hatch
- Let us know about past leaks
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
- Keep the report with your property records
We email the report to you. 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.
Every so often, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Photograph anything new.
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. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. With lower homes, common in places like Queens Park, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What a roof survey looks like in Queens Park
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you run a business near Friars Square, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Anyone responsible for a site like Aylesbury Grammar School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Different roofs, different checks
Clay plain and peg tiles
Tile-hanging on walls and dormer cheeks is checked as part of the roof where it’s relevant. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead-lined valleys and gutters are common on older homes. Cracks in a lead valley can send water into the roof, and lead is a target for theft.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. A report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
