Roof survey in RG40: how it works
Across London and the South East, roofs differ widely. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Every part gets the attention it needs. We are often asked to look into slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and flashings that have come away from the wall, across lead flashings, natural slate and chimney stacks.
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
What you’ll pay
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Roof surveys across RG40: local notes
Across RG40, we survey roofs for owners, landlords and agents, from Crowthorne, Arborfield Garrison and Emmbrook to the quieter places in between. Every report comes with photos and written recommendations.
Our area takes in slate-roofed London terraces, clay-tiled Weald houses, Essex weatherboarding and post-war new towns. Roofs in RG40 are part of that picture.
Wokingham: Anyone responsible for a site like Walter Infant School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you live in an older home near Church of St Paul, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Why get it checked now?
Leaks rarely show up straight away. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. From inside the roof space, we can often spot it sooner.
What to check before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Landlords, agents and block managers in RG40
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps with budgets and planning.
Signs you need a roof survey
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building, particularly near trees.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Worn or blocked valleys
Prices for roof surveys in RG40
We confirm the price for your roof before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Roof area
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Roof by roof
Natural slate
Slate is one of the most durable roof coverings, but its nails often corrode first. Slipped, cracked and missing slates are all noted.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly.
RG40 questions
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It isn’t a structural engineer’s report and doesn’t include calculations.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Is RG40 in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, RG40 included.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to.
