Roof survey in Amen Corner: what you get
We survey roofs in Amen Corner and across London and the South East. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability, and bring 20+ years’ experience. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Whether it’s a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you’re ready to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We survey chimney stacks, the roof space and ridges, hips and valleys, and people most often book us about flashings that have come away from the wall and loose ridge or hip tiles.
In a smaller place like Amen Corner, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A close look shows whether anything has started to loosen before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Do you need a roof survey in Amen Corner?
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Missing lead is not unusual either, as thieves target it.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mark, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Before booking anyone

Roof by roof
Chimney stacks

Clay plain and peg tiles
Tile-hanging on walls and dormer cheeks is checked as part of the roof where it’s relevant. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
Roof surveys around Amen Corner
Bracknell, which Amen Corner is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Homes from the post-war decades are common in the new towns, many with low-pitched roofs in concrete tiles and flat-roofed garages or porches. On homes of that age, felt underlay, flat roofs, gutters and fixings may all be due attention. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
If you let a flat or house near Bracknell station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you look after a building such as Jennett's Park CofE Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
