Roof survey in Stoke Poges: what you get
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run seven days a week, so it is easy to find a day that suits. If you’ve noticed lifted, split or missing lead flashings and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Stoke Poges, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Local roofs in Stoke Poges
Historic houses such as Windsor Castle, about 4.3 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Stoke Poges goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Andrew's Church Centre, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Take a building like The Stoke Poges School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Landlords with a home close to Slough station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
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 don’t climb up for a closer look.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Why act early in Stoke Poges
By the time water marks a ceiling, it’s often been getting in for a while. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. Arranging work in a smaller place like Stoke Poges is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and two real surveys.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Stoke Poges is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Advice
Questions from Stoke Poges
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stoke Poges?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
I let a flat near Slough station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
How much does a roof survey cost in Stoke Poges?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
How do I book a survey in Stoke Poges?
Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
For landlords and managing agents
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
