How a roof survey works in Tyringham
Many homes have several roofs, not just one. Rear extensions, dormers, porches and garages often have flat roofs in felt, EPDM rubber, GRP or asphalt. They’re included alongside the main roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. A flat roof normally wears out sooner than a pitched one, so they deserve a proper look. A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. If you are worried about worn lead at chimneys and abutments and debris building up in roof valleys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Tyringham are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
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, and what we’d suggest next.

Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
A lot can be seen 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.
Questions from Tyringham
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Wolverton station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Tyringham?
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.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
What does a roof survey include?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run seven days a week.
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit normally takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Cottages and farmhouses around Tyringham often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Leave side gates unlocked

Roof surveys in Tyringham: local notes
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. The wider area around Tyringham has a long history of building, with Linford Manor about 3 miles south. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Wolverton station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ousedale School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber frequently lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.
Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
What affects the price in Tyringham
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How big the roof is
- The shape of the roof and its details
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
Why get it checked now?
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, which makes later changes easy to spot. In a small place like Tyringham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
