About our roof survey in Sherington
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, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, so it is easy to find a day that suits. We survey chimney stacks, clay and concrete tiles and natural slate, and people most often book us about worn lead at chimneys and abutments and condensation or damp timbers in the loft.
In a small place like Sherington, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Roof surveys in Sherington: 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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you look after a building such as Sherington Church of England School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Laud, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The size of the roof
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Which survey package you book
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
We confirm the price for your roof before you book, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Signs you need a roof survey in Sherington
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors, particularly near trees.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Loose chimney pots
Linford Manor lies about 3.6 miles south-west, so building around Sherington goes back a long way. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Rural addresses near Sherington can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

What we look for on each type of roof
Natural slate
Inside the roof space, we check what’s under the slates. There may be old felt underlay, or none at all on very old roofs.
Lead flashings and valleys
Many older houses have lead in their valleys and hidden gutters. Worn or split lead lets water straight in, and lead is a target for theft.
