Roof survey in Maiden's Green, Bracknell Forest
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings for Maiden's Green and the rest of Bracknell Forest. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
DIY checks: what’s safe
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Roof survey in Maiden's Green
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. If you’ve noticed lifted, split or missing lead flashings and cracked mortar along the ridge, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Maiden's Green, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Roof surveys in Maiden's Green: local notes
The wider area around Maiden's Green has a long history of building, with St Leonard's Hill about 3 miles north-east. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Shop and office owners around The Lexicon may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. If you let a flat or house near Martins Heron station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Maiden's Green questions
How do I find out if my home in Maiden's Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. 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 you survey roofs for landlords with property near Martins Heron station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
What do you check on a roof survey?
All the main parts of the roof: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.

Signs you need a roof survey in Maiden's 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. Lead is also a target for theft.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Somewhere like Maiden's Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Find any records of previous roof work
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.
