Roof survey in Sandhurst, Bracknell Forest
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings for Sandhurst and the rest of Bracknell Forest. Surveys run seven days a week.
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Debris building up in roof valleys
Why get it checked now?
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. Extensions and dormers on homes around Sandhurst often hide the first signs of trouble at their joints with the main roof. Left for a few seasons, it can spoil plaster, skirting and flooring inside.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Sandhurst
There are three levels of survey: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, 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 valley linings that have cracked or split and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges, hips and valleys, chimney stacks and flat roofs alike.
In a town like Sandhurst, most homes are houses whose owners look after their own roofs. Small faults, like a cracked ridge, a slipped tile or a blocked gutter, are cheaper to deal with early. A roof report gives you a list of what needs doing and how soon, whether you live in the house or let it. Photos show you exactly what was seen, even on parts you cannot reach yourself.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Keep the roof space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air can’t move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Check insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.
What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Semi-detached and terraced homes in a town like Sandhurst frequently share a roof line with the neighbours, so we look at what can be seen of the shared parts from your side. Tell us about any known leaks, past repairs or building work as you book, so time on site goes where it is needed.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- 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 the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared

When to book a survey in Sandhurst
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. ‘Nail fatigue’ is common on slate roofs: the nails rust and the slates slide. On tiled roofs, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
Take a building like Sandhurst School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Questions to ask before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- When you will get the report
- Will the report include photos?
Common questions in Sandhurst
Is my home in Sandhurst listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can a landlord with a rental near Sandhurst station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes, we can. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How we price roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. You will know the price for the job before booking.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Different roofs, different checks
Natural slate
Slate is one of the most durable roof coverings, but its nails often corrode first. We check for slipped, cracked and missing slates.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we check them too. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
Roof surveys around Sandhurst
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you live near a park such as Sandhurst Memorial Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St George's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
