About roof surveys in Slough

Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Natural slate can last 100 years or more, and clay and concrete tiles commonly 50 years or more, but the fixings and underlay beneath them often give out sooner. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. We are frequently asked to look into lifted, split or missing lead flashings and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs, on clay and concrete tiles, natural slate and chimney stacks.

Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask.

We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.

Homes and roofs across Slough

From Cippenham, Chalvey and Britwell to its smaller places, buildings across Slough have roofs of every age. The usual weak points are fixings, flashings, chimneys and gutters.

Our area covers London and South East England, including Slough. London and South East England have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates.

Slough: Landlords with a home close to Slough station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Trees in and around Herschel Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Roof by roof

Lead flashings and valleys

Lead-lined valleys and gutters are common on older homes. Worn or split lead lets water straight in.

Natural slate

Inside the loft space, we check what’s under the slates. Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay, and very old roofs none.

Why get it checked now?

Before you put a home on the market, it is useful to know the roof’s condition. You will know what a buyer’s survey might pick up.

What to check before booking

What insurance they carry
What exactly goes into their report
Whether the price includes VAT
Will they check the loft as well as the outside?

What a survey does not cover

Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:

An exact number of years the roof has left
Walls, floors and services below the roof
What’s under the slates, tiles or felt

Useful tips for Slough property owners

From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:

Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
Take photos of any leaks as they happen
Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
Stay off ladders and the roof

Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. That helps you decide what to do first.

Keep the loft space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air can’t move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Make sure insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.

Signs you need a roof survey

Not every roof problem comes from outside. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, wetting timbers and insulation. It is often mistaken for a leak, and it needs a different fix.

People normally book a survey after spotting one of these:

Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
Loose chimney pots

Questions from Slough

Can you survey a shared roof?

Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.

Can you inspect my roof with a drone?

Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.

How do I book a survey in Slough?

The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey seven days a week.

How much is a survey?

Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it’s agreed before booking.

What’s covered in a roof inspection?

Every part of the roof we can safely see: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.

Can you survey in bad weather?

A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.

Do I need to be at home?

It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when you book.
