What we look for on each type of roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded, and for spalling where the surface has flaked.
Natural slate
Slate is common on older homes in London and the South East. Where several slates have slipped, the cause is often nail fatigue, and we say how widespread it looks.
About our roof survey in Cox Green
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Each one comes with a written report. If you’re worried about leaning or weathered chimney stacks and flashings that have come away from the wall, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a smaller place like Cox Green, 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. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Local roofs in Cox Green
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Dorney Court, about 3.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cox Green. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you let a flat or house near Maidenhead station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Anyone responsible for a site like Wessex Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Trees in and around Ockwells Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.

Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
What we can’t see
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.
What we check
- The roof space
- Flat roofs
- Lead flashings
- Natural slate
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Chimney stacks
What we do, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a smaller place like Cox Green, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- 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.
- We email a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Find any records of previous roof work
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Keep the report with your property records
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
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.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
Common questions in Cox Green
Is drone flying allowed in Cox Green?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Cox Green is about 2 miles from White Waltham Airfield, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Can a landlord with a rental near Maidenhead station book a roof survey?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you work in Cox Green?
Yes. We survey roofs in Cox Green and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the roof space. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it’s agreed before booking.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Can I check my roof myself?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
