About our pre-purchase roof survey in Moneyrow Green
Some roofs can’t be seen well from ground level or from windows. Our Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone inspection, and the report arrives the same day. If airspace rules or the weather rule out a flight, we’ll say so and look from the ground, windows and the loft instead. We survey the roof space, gutters and downpipes and natural slate, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are worn or lifted lead flashings and a ridge or slope that dips.
In a village or hamlet like Moneyrow Green, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Village roofs can be clay tile, slate, stone or even thatch on some older buildings. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, each material has its own checks. Older roofs may also have old felt underlay or none, and fixings that have done a long stint.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What affects the price in Moneyrow Green
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How big the roof is
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- The property’s address and postcode
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They wear slowly, but surfaces erode and edges crack, and low-pitched roofs need their laps to be right.
Gutters and parapets
A butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter, usually to the back of the house. If the home you’re buying has one, that gutter and its outlet get a careful look.
Moneyrow Green homes and their roofs
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Historic houses like Dorney Court, about 2.4 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Moneyrow Green goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own a rental within reach of Maidenhead station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Why get it checked now?
Without a survey, you are relying on a glance from the pavement. That won’t show slipped slates on the rear slope, a worn valley or cracked flaunching. We fill that gap before you’re tied in, with photos of anything that needs attention. Older and listed buildings around Moneyrow Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
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.
What you get with us
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- Visits on any day of the week
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance

Common questions in Moneyrow Green
How do I find out if my home in Moneyrow Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Moneyrow Green?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. White Waltham Airfield is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you need access inside the house?
If it can be arranged, yes. Inside, the loft shows leaks, damp timbers and the underlay. If access isn’t possible, we note it in the report.
When is the best time to have the roof checked when buying?
The sooner after your offer is accepted, the better. You need the report before you exchange, while you can still ask questions and negotiate.
How long does a pre-purchase roof survey take?
On site, it usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Report times depend on the package, from the same day for Premium to within 48 hours for Basic.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours at the house you’re buying, depending on its size and how much of the roof can be seen. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Around Moneyrow Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.

Related advice
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
