How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Older roofs in small places like Stroude can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Roof survey in Stroude: what you get
There are three levels of survey: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Every package includes a written report. We survey clay and concrete tiles, natural slate and chimney stacks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are worn or blocked valleys and lifted, split or missing lead flashings.
Some older homes in villages like Stroude 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Roof surveys in Stroude: local notes
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. About 2.7 miles south lies Botleys Mansion, a reminder of how long the area around Stroude has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Virginia Water station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Christ Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you look after a building such as St Ann's Heath Junior School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
