About roof surveys in Windsor and Maidenhead
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Slate frequently lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, 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 survey the roof space, flat roofs and clay and concrete tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are standing water on a flat roof and leaking gutter joints and downpipes.
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters across Windsor and Maidenhead
Across Windsor and Maidenhead, from Maidenhead, Windsor and Boyn Hill outwards, roofs range from old slate and clay tile to modern concrete tiles and flat roofs. The usual weak points are fixings, flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Even in the South East, autumn and winter storms find any loose slate, tile or ridge. In Windsor and Maidenhead, as elsewhere, exposed details are where damage shows first.
Maidenhead: If you live near a park like Braywick Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Anyone responsible for a site like Claires Court Schools will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Windsor and Maidenhead
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. When they do, water comes straight into the house. We check them before they cause trouble.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- When you will get the report
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Different roofs, different checks
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded, and for spalling where the surface has flaked.
Natural slate
Slate is one of the most durable roof coverings, yet the nails holding it frequently fail long before the slate. Slipped, cracked and missing slates are all noted, and for clips that show past repairs.
Checking the roof from the ground
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
We email the report to you, with photographs of what we found. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Each finding is set out in plain English.
Keep the roof 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.
Windsor and Maidenhead questions
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it’s wearing, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. Our report notes any materials that might, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
Do you work in Windsor and Maidenhead?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, Windsor and Maidenhead included.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, like serious sagging, we will say so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
