George Green: your questions answered
I let a flat near Langley station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is my home in George Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Do you cover George Green for roof surveys?
Yes. We survey roofs in George Green and the rest of Slough. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Roof survey in George Green
There are three levels of survey: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Every package includes a written report. Common reasons to book are ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, across chimney stacks, lead flashings and ridges, hips and valleys.
In a small place like George Green, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What a roof survey looks like in George Green
The wider area around George Green has a long history of building, with Windsor Castle about 3.3 miles south-west. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For an older house near a landmark like Parish Church of St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Take a building like Wexham Court Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Shop and office owners around The Pavilions may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
George Green is about 2 miles east of Slough, in Slough. Whether the building in George Green is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. George Green is one of the places in Slough we cover for roof surveys. There is also a page for Reading.

Roof by roof
Natural slate
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but its nails often corrode first. Slipped, cracked and missing slates are all noted, and for clips that show past repairs.
Flat roof coverings
Felt flat roofs frequently last around 15 to 20 years, EPDM rubber around 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.
Landlord and commercial surveys in George Green
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos. As for time on site, it normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a hamlet or village like George Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us about the property and any concerns.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Book a survey
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.

Checking the roof from the ground
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
