How it works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Older rural homes like those around Tingrith can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets in another room
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Tingrith
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, others want a check before selling or after years without one. The approach is the same in each case: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run seven days a week, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. We survey chimney stacks, natural slate and clay and concrete tiles, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are debris building up in roof valleys and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings.
Somewhere as small as Tingrith, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Tingrith
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A small roof defect normally gets bigger. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Catching it early means less to put right. In a small place like Tingrith, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
Why book with us
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance

FAQs for Tingrith
Is my home in Tingrith listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can a landlord with a rental near Harlington station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
How quickly will I get the report?
That depends on which survey you choose: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. It’s emailed to you.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as an exact number, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
Do you work in Tingrith?
Yes. We carry out roof surveys in Tingrith, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
What does a roof survey cost?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Local roofs in Tingrith
Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Landlords with a home close to Harlington station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Flitwick Manor lies about 1.8 miles north-east, so building around Tingrith goes back a long way. If yours is one of the older homes, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up.

What else we do in Tingrith
Signs you need a roof survey in Tingrith
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while rain gets into every gap. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Common reasons to book include:
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether VAT is added on top
What affects the cost of roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
To get a price for roof surveys in Tingrith, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Some details about the property and the roof help us give you an accurate price.
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
