Roof survey in Englefield Green
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers are common in felt, EPDM rubber, GRP or asphalt. They’re included alongside the main roof, including signs of standing water, splits and tired upstands. A flat roof normally wears out sooner than a pitched one. A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. We survey natural slate, clay and concrete tiles and lead flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching.
Around Englefield Green, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Homes around Englefield Green often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- 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.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Practical tips
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Englefield Green
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Common roof problems in Englefield Green
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, while rain gets into every gap. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Loose chimney pots
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
Anyone responsible for a site like Englefield Green Infant School and Nurseries will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Which limits apply to the survey
Englefield Green homes and their roofs
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.

Your questions about roof surveys in Englefield Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Englefield Green?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a 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.
I let a flat near Egham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It doesn’t include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only where it is safe to do so. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. On Premium, a drone is used where applicable.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you work in Englefield Green?
Yes, we do. We carry out roof surveys in Englefield Green.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
