Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Tyler's Hill
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St George's Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Take a building like Ley Hill School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

How a roof survey works in Tyler's Hill
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and where it’s relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, chimney stacks and the roof space, and people most often book us about cracked mortar along the ridge and loose chimney pots.
Some older homes in villages like Tyler's Hill are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Checking the roof from the ground
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
What we are asked to look at in Tyler's Hill
Chimneys stand exposed above the roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts at the top of the stack.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
If you own a rental within reach of Amersham station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Before booking anyone
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
Why get it checked now?
By the time water marks a ceiling, it is frequently been getting in for a while. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. From inside the loft space, we can often spot it sooner. For an older or listed building in a place like Tyler's Hill, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Your questions about roof surveys in Tyler's Hill
Can a landlord with a rental near Amersham station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Will you come out to Tyler's Hill?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Only when it’s safe. We also use views from the ground, windows and the roof space.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Report times depend on the package.
The survey, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey normally takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Somewhere as small as Tyler's Hill, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
We check the stack itself, and it isn’t a flue or gas safety check. If a specialist is needed, we will say so.
Flat roof coverings
Repeated coatings can hide what’s underneath. We say what we can see and when a closer look would need opening up.
