Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Tringford
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Each one comes with a written report. If you’re worried about slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Tringford, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. 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.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Tringford can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Keep pets in another room

- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window

What we’re asked to look at in Tringford
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.
Look out for signs like these:
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

- Their drone registration, if they fly one

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings close the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Lifted, split or slipped lead is recorded.
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack, as far as we can safely see them. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.
Your questions about roof surveys in Tringford
How do I find out if my home in Tringford is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area.

Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.

Local roofs in Tringford
With Cholesbury Manor House about 4.1 miles south, Tringford sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you let a flat or house near Tring station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you look after a building such as Marsworth Church of England Infant School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Without a survey, you’re guessing at what the roof needs. You might pay for work that does not fix the real problem, or to a real problem being missed. We tell you what’s really needed. Around Tringford, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
