How a roof survey works in Twyford
Our roof surveys cover Twyford and the wider South East. 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. Whether it is a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We survey the roof space, flat roofs and natural slate, and people most often book us about cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and leaning or weathered chimney stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Twyford, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

For landlords and managing agents
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
When you need someone else
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:

Questions from Twyford
Do you cover Twyford?
Yes, Twyford is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Twyford as anywhere else.
Will you come out to Twyford?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you go up on the roof?
Where it’s safe, yes. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the roof space. The Premium Survey adds a drone where it applies.
How soon is the report ready?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photographs.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.

When to book a survey in Twyford
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Water that gets into a stack can show up as damp in the rooms below.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Twyford C of E School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
Roof by roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Many older houses have lead in their valleys and hidden gutters. Cracks in a lead valley can send water into the roof.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. We look for lifted, cracked or slipped tiles, especially at the verges and ridge.
How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Around Twyford, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- 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.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
