Littlewick Green Roof Survey
A careful look at the roof at your property in Littlewick Green, with photographs and a written report.
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Useful tips for Littlewick Green property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
- Let us know about past leaks
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. It is a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Look at your roof from ground level after strong winds. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Littlewick Green
The report is written for you, in plain language. Each defect is described with photos and a recommendation, and where it is relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. We survey the roof space, lead flashings and natural slate, and common reasons people get in touch are debris building up in roof valleys and leaning or weathered chimney stacks.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Many older houses have lead in their valleys and hidden gutters. Worn or split lead lets water straight in, and lead is a target for theft.
Flat roof coverings
Some flat roofs have been coated over several times. If the covering would need opening up to know more, we say so.
Roof surveys around Littlewick Green
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. White Waltham Airfield is about 2 miles from Littlewick Green. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you let a flat or house near Maidenhead station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Historic houses like Harleyford Manor, about 2.8 miles north, show how far back building around Littlewick Green goes. If your house is among the older ones, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up. Take a building like Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

How the survey works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Around Littlewick Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint, inside and out.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets in another room
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Advice
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:
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- An exact number of years the roof has left

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Littlewick Green questions
Is Littlewick Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Littlewick Green is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is my home in Littlewick Green listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you look in the loft space?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. Our report notes any materials that might, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
Why get it checked now?
Before you put a home on the market, it is useful to know the roof’s condition. You will know what a buyer’s survey might pick up, or at least know what to expect. In a place like Littlewick Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
