Roof survey in Stoke Row: what you get
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Each defect is described with photographs and a recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. Common reasons to book are cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and worn or blocked valleys, across clay and concrete tiles, lead flashings and flat roofs.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Stoke Row homes and their roofs
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Evangelist, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stoke Row Church of England School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Greys Court lies about 2.7 miles east, so building around Stoke Row goes back a long way. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.
Stoke Row is about 6 miles north-west of Caversham, in Oxfordshire.

Roof by roof
Natural slate
Slate is one of the most durable roof coverings, yet the nails holding it often fail long before the slate. Slipped, cracked and missing slates are all noted.
Chimney stacks
Each chimney’s pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.

Common questions in Stoke Row
Do you cover Stoke Row?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Stoke Row is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Stoke Row within the area you cover?
Yes. Stoke Row is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Where it is safe, yes. We also inspect from ground level, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. On Premium, a drone is used where it applies.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How quickly will I get the report?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photos.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We do not give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Cottages and farmhouses around Stoke Row frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- 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.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
What this survey cannot tell you
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather

Surveys for landlords and agents in Stoke Row
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Before and after the survey
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Mention any damp patches when booking
- Keep the report with your property records
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. They’ll see each defect and its location, which makes quotes easier to compare.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Take photos of anything that changes.
