Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Crookham
We survey roofs in Crookham and across London and South East England. Visits run on any day of the week. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you are ready to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We’re often asked to look into ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and standing water on a flat roof, across ridges, hips and valleys, clay and concrete tiles and chimney stacks.
Some older homes in villages like Crookham are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Before and after the survey
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Check we can open the loft hatch
- Photograph stains when they appear
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. That helps you decide what to do first.
Keep the roof space ventilated. A stuffy loft collects condensation, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Cottages and farmhouses around Crookham frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Crookham
About 5 miles north-west lies Shaw House, a reminder of how long the area around Crookham has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Peter, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Thatcham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Anyone responsible for a site like Brimpton C.E. Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Common questions in Crookham
I let a flat near Thatcham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How do I find out if my home in Crookham is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you go up on the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from ground level, windows and the roof space.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
