What happens if roof problems are left?
Water spilling from a gutter runs down and soaks the wall below. Given time, it can cause damp patches, damaged pointing and rot in nearby timber. Finding the cause now typically keeps the fix smaller. Around Beenham Stocks, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.

About our gutter survey in Beenham Stocks
Gutters are typically fixed to fascia boards, so we look at the fascias and soffits too. Long-term overflowing can soften and rot timber boards and mark the soffits underneath. On buildings from before 2000, some soffits and rainwater goods may be asbestos cement. We do not carry out asbestos testing, so we flag anything that might contain it for a specialist asbestos surveyor to check. If you are worried about leaking or loose downpipes and overflowing eaves gutters, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Beenham Stocks may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Checking the roof from ground level
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Beenham Stocks. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Will the survey check for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos testing. Where gutters, downpipes or soffits could be asbestos cement, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.

Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
What happens on the day
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos.

In a hamlet or village like Beenham Stocks, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by hearing about any drips, overflows or damp patches.
- We look along the gutters, downpipes and fascias from the ground and from windows.
- Valley, parapet and box gutters are inspected as far as they can safely be seen.
- Where the loft can be reached safely, we check it for staining or damp.
- You get a written report with photos and recommendations.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Beenham Stocks
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For landlords with property near Aldermaston station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Beenham Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
