Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Weedon
The report is written for you, in plain language. Each defect is described with photographs and a 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 it applies and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. If you are worried about leaking gutter joints and downpipes and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on the roof space, ridges, hips and valleys and chimney stacks alike.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
We check the stack itself, and it isn’t a flue or gas safety check. We’ll tell you if the flue needs a specialist.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly.
Weedon questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Weedon?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
I let a flat near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What do you check on a roof survey?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the roof space where there is safe access. The report includes photos and recommendations.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do you go up on the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Somewhere as small as Weedon, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us about the property and any concerns.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
How to book
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.

Common roof problems in Weedon
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Mortar crumbles, the flaunching around the pots cracks and stacks can lean. Water that gets into a stack can show up as damp in the rooms below.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
For businesses in and around places such as Friars Square, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
What to check before booking
- Their insurance cover
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Checking the roof from ground level
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
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.
Roof surveys in Weedon: local notes
A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Take an older house close to Old School Room Chapel: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. It is a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Look at your roof from ground level after strong winds. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
