Pre-purchase roof survey in Littlewick Green: what you get
Some roofs can’t be seen well from ground level or from windows. Our Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and, where it applies, a drone inspection, along with a same-day report. Where a flight isn’t possible, because of airspace rules or the weather, we tell you and look from the ground, windows and the loft instead. Common reasons to book are signs of past leaks inside the loft and blocked or leaking gutters, across lead flashings and valleys, flat-roofed extensions and dormers and clay and concrete tiles.
Some older homes in villages like Littlewick Green are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes an hour or two for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Littlewick Green frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey to suit the home you are buying.
- A date is booked on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- We send the report with recommendations ranked by urgency, ready for you to discuss with the seller or agent.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Questions from Littlewick Green
Is Littlewick Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is my home in Littlewick Green listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Do you need to go inside the property?
Where possible, yes. We look in the roof space where there is safe access, and upstairs windows give useful views. Access is normally arranged through the agent or seller.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Littlewick Green
After exchange, any roof defect is yours to deal with. Before it, you still have choices. Finding out later gives you the same facts, but too late to use them in the purchase. Older and listed buildings around Littlewick Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why book with us
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- An independent view of the roof

Buying a home or a new roof in Littlewick Green
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. White Waltham Airfield is about 2 miles from Littlewick Green. If your survey includes the drone, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first.
Harleyford Manor lies about 2.8 miles north, so building around Littlewick Green goes back a long way. When you buy an older home, the roof’s age, past repairs and any listing all affect what you might spend later. If you own a rental within reach of Maidenhead station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Saint John the Evangelist, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Checking the roof from ground level
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
