Why it is worth a survey now in Sherfield on Loddon
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. A survey sets a baseline, which makes later changes easy to spot. In a place like Sherfield on Loddon, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

How a roof survey works in Sherfield on Loddon
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: a careful look, then a clear written report. Visits run on any day of the week, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. If you are worried about condensation or damp timbers in the loft and valley linings that have cracked or split, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Sherfield on Loddon are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Useful tips for Sherfield on Loddon property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Let us know about past leaks
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Stay off ladders and the roof
Keep the report with your property records. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and it can help when you sell.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
What a roof survey doesn’t cover
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)

On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.

Questions from Sherfield on Loddon
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Sherfield on Loddon?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Sherfield on Loddon within the area you cover?
Yes. Sherfield on Loddon is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long will you be at the property?
On site, it usually takes between one and two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
When will the report arrive?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
