Roof survey in Tylers Green
Across London and South East England, roofs differ widely. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Every part gets the attention it needs. We survey flat roofs, clay and concrete tiles and lead flashings, and common reasons people get in touch are slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and leaking gutter joints and downpipes.
In a smaller place like Tylers Green, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead-lined valleys and gutters are common on older homes. Cracks in a lead valley can send water into the roof.
Flat roof coverings
Some flat roofs have been coated over several times. If the covering would need opening up to know more, we say so.

What a roof survey looks like in Tylers Green
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you let a flat or house near High Wycombe station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Eden, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

Other landmarks nearby include Hospital of St John the Baptist (2 miles south-west) and High Wycombe Castle (2.1 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Gomm's Wood.
Checking the roof from the ground
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a smaller place like Tylers Green, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, 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.
- We email a report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Common roof problems in Tylers Green
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Water that gets into a stack can show up as damp in the rooms below.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Loose chimney pots
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
Historic houses such as Hughenden Manor, about 2.4 miles west, show how far back building around Tylers Green goes. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.

Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Leave roof access to professionals
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Every so often, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Take photos of anything that changes.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters.
Your questions about roof surveys in Tylers Green
Can a landlord with a rental near High Wycombe station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building.
Is Tylers Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We do not give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the roof space. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Tylers Green?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
