Huntercombe Roof Survey
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in Huntercombe, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. That helps you decide what to do first.
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.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Huntercombe
Across London and South East England, roofs differ widely. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Every part gets the attention it needs. We survey chimney stacks, natural slate and ridges, hips and valleys, and people most often book us about loose ridge or hip tiles and standing water on a flat roof.
Houses in smaller places like Huntercombe can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Huntercombe is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Do you need a roof survey in Huntercombe?
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack. Lead is also a target for theft.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
Take a building like Cippenham Infant School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
What to check before booking
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Their insurance cover
Roof surveys around Huntercombe
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Historic houses such as Dorney Court, about 1.4 miles south-west, show how far back building around Huntercombe goes. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. Trees in and around Haymill Valley shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Huntercombe is about 2 miles west of Slough, in Slough. We visit Huntercombe as part of our work across Slough. Our Slough coverage includes Huntercombe. For surveys nearby, see our Reading page.
Every address in SL1, SL6 and SL2 is covered for roof surveys. If you need a roof survey at a property on Bath Road, Clare Road and Conway Road or anywhere close by, we can help. Other places close to Huntercombe include Burnham (1 mile north), Cippenham (1 mile south-east), Lake End (1 mile south-west), Dorney (1 mile south) and Dorney Reach (1 mile south-west).

Local landmarks in Huntercombe
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Haymill Valley, Westgate School and Ye Olde Huntercombe Arms and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Huntercombe itself: Burnham station. Nearby you will also find Windsor Castle (3.3 miles south-east) and Upton Hospital (2.8 miles east). The countryside around Huntercombe includes Taplow Lake and Bray Pit.
Why act early in Huntercombe
A small roof defect usually gets bigger. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and wet timber starts to decay. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. Around Huntercombe, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Read how roof surveys are priced and what we found on two real jobs.
Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Tile-hanging on walls and dormer cheeks is checked as part of the roof where it’s relevant. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
Questions from Huntercombe
Is Huntercombe within the area you cover?
Yes, Huntercombe is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I find out if my home in Huntercombe is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
When will the report arrive?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photographs.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
All the main parts of the roof: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Huntercombe?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
