What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roof coverings
Ponding, blistering, splits and cracked surfaces are the common warning signs. Upstands and outlets are checked too.
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. We look for lifted, cracked or slipped tiles, especially at the verges and ridge.
About our roof survey in Stud Green
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Rear extensions, dormers, porches and garages often have flat roofs. We check them as well as the main pitched roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. A flat roof usually wears out sooner than a pitched one, so they deserve a close look. Felt often lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber can last 30 to 50. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs and clay and concrete tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are valley linings that have cracked or split and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching.
Some older homes in villages like Stud Green 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 often expected.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
What to let us know when you contact us
We’ll typically ask about:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What a roof survey looks like in Stud Green
About 2.7 miles east lies Dorney Court, a reminder of how long the area around Stud Green 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 the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live near a park such as Ockwells Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For landlords with property near Maidenhead station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you look after a building like Holyport College, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, while Premium includes a consultation in person. It’s a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.
How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere as small as Stud Green, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Advice
Your questions about roof surveys in Stud Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Maidenhead station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Is drone flying allowed in Stud Green?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Stud Green is about 3 miles from White Waltham Airfield, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
All the main parts of the roof: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. We flag materials that could contain it, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as an exact number, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
Honest limits
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- A structural engineer’s report
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
- Asbestos testing of any kind
