How a roof survey works in Middlegreen
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We look at the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations. Where it is relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. Common reasons to book are slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and worn or blocked valleys, across ridges, hips and valleys, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space.
In a village or hamlet like Middlegreen, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

What happens on the day
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Middlegreen, 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. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Middlegreen
Historic houses like Windsor Castle, about 2.8 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Middlegreen goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you live in an older home near St Mary the Virgin Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Trees in and around Ditton Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

FAQs for Middlegreen
Is Middlegreen within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Langley station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It isn’t a structural engineer’s report and doesn’t include calculations.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as an exact number, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Prices for roof surveys in Middlegreen
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Which survey package you book
- The size of the roof
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What to let us know when you contact us
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Anything about access we should know
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.
Why act early in Middlegreen
It’s easier to plan roof work than to react to it. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than calling someone out after a storm. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Why us?
- Every finding written up with photos
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- PI and public liability insurance
- An independent view of the roof
Read how roof surveys are priced and what we found on two real jobs.
Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings and valleys
Most leaks begin at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. They get particular attention in every survey.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles are common on older South East homes. When pegs or battens rot, tiles slip.
What we’re asked to look at in Middlegreen
What’s under the slates or tiles is as important as the coverings themselves. Breathable membranes only appeared in the UK in the late 1990s, so many older roofs have bitumen felt underlay, and some very old roofs have no underlay at all. Felt that has torn or perished stops doing its job.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
If you look after a building such as The Langley Academy Primary, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they carry
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
What you can safely check yourself
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. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
