Littleworth Corner Roof Survey
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you spend money on it. Roof surveys in Littleworth Corner.
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Roof survey in Littleworth Corner
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the roof space where there’s safe access. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. Typical surveys look at gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs, across flat roofs, clay and concrete tiles and ridges, hips and valleys.
Somewhere as small as Littleworth Corner, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Littleworth Corner questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Littleworth Corner?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Bourne End station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the roof space. On Premium, a drone is used where it applies.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. Surveys run seven days a week.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay plain and peg tiles
Older homes in the Weald and across the South East often have clay plain tiles, and some have Kent peg tiles held by pegs. When pegs or battens rot, tiles slip.
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.
What we are asked to look at in Littleworth Corner
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building, especially near trees.
We are often asked to look at:
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
If you let a flat or house near Bourne End station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Before you book anyone
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Littleworth Corner
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. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The wider area around Littleworth Corner has a long history of building, with Cliveden about 1.6 miles west. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Take an older house close to Church of St Anne: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dropmore Infant School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

How the survey works

It typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. For a village or hamlet like Littleworth Corner, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
