Roof survey in Turnfurlong
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and where it is relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. We survey flat roofs, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space, and people most often book us about leaning or weathered chimney stacks and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken.
Around Turnfurlong, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
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.

Roof surveys around Turnfurlong
RAF Halton is about 3 miles from Turnfurlong. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. 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.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Friars Square, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. The streets around a church like Holy Trinity are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Aylesbury station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Homes around Turnfurlong often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- 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
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Related advice
Turnfurlong questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Aylesbury station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is my home in Turnfurlong listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t put a figure on it, 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.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when booking.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. We flag materials that could contain it, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we can. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.

Different roofs, different checks
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded.
Lead flashings and valleys
Many older houses have lead in their valleys and hidden gutters. Cracks in a lead valley can send water into the roof.

Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The roof’s overall size
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Keep the report with your property records
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Stay off ladders and the roof
Your report arrives by email, with photographs of what we found. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Findings are explained in plain words.
Look at your roof from the ground after strong winds. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
