For landlords and managing agents
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Weston
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. If you are worried about slipped or missing slates and tiles and damp or stains in top-floor flats, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Weston 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What else we do in Weston
How the survey works
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Around Weston, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Advice
Why it is worth a survey now in Weston
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Weston, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for your roof before booking.

Questions from Weston
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Weston?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Weston?
Yes, Weston is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No, it focuses on the roof. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey, and it is not a structural engineer’s report.
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’re allowed to reach.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Common roof problems in Weston
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years particularly where the roof can’t be seen from the street.
Common reasons to book include:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
Landlords with a home close to Kintbury station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What insurance they carry
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What experience they bring
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Landlord roof surveys in Weston: local notes
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses such as Benham Park, about 4.7 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Weston goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to St Thomas' Church: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Weston is about 6 miles north-west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. From houses to flats and shops in Weston, the roof can be surveyed. We cover towns and villages across West Berkshire. There is also a page for Reading.
We work across RG20 for landlord roof surveys and the streets around it. Close by, we survey roofs in East Shefford (1 mile north-west), Great Shefford (1 mile north-west), Wickham (1 mile south), Easton (2 miles south-east) and Shefford Woodlands (2 miles west). We also work in nearby towns such as Newbury (6 miles south-east), Thatcham (8 miles south-east), Speenhamland (6 miles south-east), Hungerford (5 miles south-west), Lambourn (5 miles north-west) and Shaw (6 miles south-east).
Near you in Weston
Weston’s nearest station is Kintbury station, roughly 4.3 miles south. Well-known places in the area include Hamstead Marshall 3 (4.7 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Sole Common Pond.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
What this survey can’t tell you
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
