Roof survey in Weston Turville
We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it is safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where it applies, a drone, for roofs that are hard to see well. You do not need to do anything except give us access. Everything we see is photographed for the report. Typical surveys look at cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and lifted, split or missing lead flashings, across natural slate, chimney stacks and flat roofs.
Around Weston Turville, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Weston Turville
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. RAF Halton is about 1 mile from Weston Turville. Where the drone is part of the survey, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first.
If you run a business near Friars Square, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. The streets around a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. A visit to a smaller place like Weston Turville is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
How to book
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
Advice
When you need someone else
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we look at
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Flat roofs
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Lead flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Natural slate
- The roof space
Common roof problems in Weston Turville
Not every roof problem comes from outside. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It’s often mistaken for a leak.
We are often asked to look at:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
If you let a flat or house near Stoke Mandeville station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
What to check before booking
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- How soon the report will arrive

Practical tips
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see whether anything has changed.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Compare each report with the last.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Many older houses have lead in their valleys and hidden gutters. Cracks in a lead valley can send water into the roof.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly, and they can crack.
Why act early in Weston Turville
If you are planning to sell, a roof survey can help you prepare. You’ll know what a buyer’s survey might pick up. In an older home around Weston Turville, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What you get with us
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- More than 20 years surveying roofs
- Packages from £150, with VAT included

Weston Turville questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Weston Turville?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can a landlord with a rental near Stoke Mandeville station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
What do you check on a roof survey?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, along with the loft where it is safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
