About our roof survey in Temple Park
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. The approach is the same in each case: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. We survey lead flashings, chimney stacks and natural slate, and people most often book us about ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and leaking gutter joints and downpipes.
Around Temple Park, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What we cannot see
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, while Premium includes a consultation in person. It’s a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

Roof surveys around Temple Park
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
The streets around a church such as St Andrew are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Meadow Vale Primary School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Temple Park questions
My home in Temple Park has a flat-roofed garage or porch. Is it worth having that looked at?
Frequently, yes, so mention it when you book. Many homes in new towns like Bracknell have flat-roofed garages and porches, and felt roofs often last around 15–20 years.
Is my home in Temple Park listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we will say so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
Is Temple Park in your area?
Yes. We cover Temple Park and the rest of Bracknell Forest. To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How do I book a survey in Temple Park?

How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Being in a smaller place like Temple Park doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- 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.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

Advice
Signs you need a roof survey in Temple Park
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while rain gets into every gap. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Loose chimney pots
For businesses in and around places like The Lexicon, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
