How a roof survey works in Holme Green
We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it’s safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone, which helps with tall or steep roofs. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. We survey natural slate, chimney stacks and lead flashings, and the problems we are asked to look at most are leaking gutter joints and downpipes and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone.
Older buildings in small places like Holme Green may be 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 such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

FAQs for Holme Green
How do I find out if my home in Holme Green is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Wokingham station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
When will the report arrive?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
How long will you be at the property?
On site, it normally takes an hour or two for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Do you work in Holme Green?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Holme Green.
How much does a roof survey cost in Holme Green?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Mention any damp patches when you book
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
We email the report to you, with photos of what we found. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Each finding is set out in plain English.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber frequently lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30. We look at how the covering is wearing.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Handmade and machine-made clay tiles are long-lasting. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded.
What we’re asked to look at in Holme Green
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Lead is also a target for theft.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Loose chimney pots
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
For landlords with property near Wokingham station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Their report turnaround times
What this survey can’t tell you
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a hamlet or village like Holme Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Holme Green
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take a building like Floreat Montague Park Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you live in an older home near St Sebastian's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
