Roof survey in Ashampstead Green: what you get
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where conditions allow. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where it applies, which helps with tall or steep roofs. You don’t need to do anything except give us access. Everything we see is photographed for the report. We survey clay and concrete tiles, lead flashings and the roof space, and common reasons people get in touch are ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and debris building up in roof valleys.
Some older homes in villages like Ashampstead Green are 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. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Ashampstead Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Ashampstead Green?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Can a landlord with a rental near Goring & Streatley station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It does not include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. Our report notes any materials that might, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
Roof surveys in Ashampstead Green: local notes
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Basildon Park lies about 2.9 miles east, so building around Ashampstead Green goes back a long way. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Clement, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

What’s near Ashampstead Green

Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Check we can open the loft hatch
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Take photos of anything that changes.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Walls, floors and services below the roof

Prices for roof surveys in Ashampstead Green

When to book a survey in Ashampstead Green
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, and rain finds any gap it can. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Debris building up in roof valleys
Landlords with a home close to Goring & Streatley station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How soon the report will arrive
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around Ashampstead Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
