- An exact number of years the roof has left

- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding

How a roof survey works in Turville Heath
There’s no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, others want a check before selling or after years without one. 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. If you’ve noticed leaking gutter joints and downpipes and cracked mortar along the ridge, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on chimney stacks, flat roofs and the roof space alike.
Somewhere as small as Turville Heath, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older rural homes like those around Turville Heath can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
FAQs for Turville Heath
Do you carry out roof surveys in Turville Heath?
Yes, Turville Heath is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Turville Heath as anywhere else.
How do I find out if my home in Turville Heath 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. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.

Roof surveys in Turville Heath: local notes
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.

If you own one of the older houses, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up.

How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts with the stack outside. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
Flat roof coverings
Standing water, blisters and splits all point to wear. Upstands and outlets are checked too, since leaks often start there.
