How a landlord roof survey works in Aldermaston Soke
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We survey converted houses, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose ridge or hip tiles and standing water on a flat roof.
In a village or hamlet like Aldermaston Soke, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Questions from Aldermaston Soke
Do you cover smaller places like Aldermaston Soke?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
I let a flat near Aldermaston station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when booking.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
To price your survey, we look at:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The roof’s overall size
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Anything about access we should know
- Where the property is, with the postcode

How it works
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Around Aldermaston Soke, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Advice
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Aldermaston Soke
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. The wider area around Aldermaston Soke has a long history of building, with The Vyne about 4.5 miles south. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you live near a park like Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For an older house near a landmark like Saint Luke's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Take a building like Silchester Church of England Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
