Touchen-end questions
Is my home in Touchen-end 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Touchen-end?
Yes, Touchen-end is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Touchen-end?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Roof survey in Touchen-end
We survey roofs in Touchen-end and across London and South East England. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process.

If you’re worried about condensation or damp timbers in the loft and valley linings that have cracked or split, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Touchen-end 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How big the roof is
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- What’s prompted the survey
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Useful tips for Touchen-end property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- File the report with your home documents
- Let us know about past leaks
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
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.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
What a roof survey looks like in Touchen-end
White Waltham Airfield is about 3 miles from Touchen-end. If the drone is used for your survey, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Dorney Court lies about 2.9 miles north-east, so building around Touchen-end goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. Anyone responsible for a site like Holyport College will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Trees in and around Ockwells Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

What we look for on each type of roof
Natural slate
Slate is one of the most durable roof coverings, yet the nails holding it often fail long before the slate. We check for slipped, cracked and missing slates.
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber often lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.
Why act early in Touchen-end
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than calling someone out after a storm. For an older or listed building in a place like Touchen-end, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the exact price before booking.

How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. For a village or hamlet like Touchen-end, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
