Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Ufton Green
Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Each one comes with a written report. We survey flat roofs, natural slate and lead flashings, and people most frequently book us about debris building up in roof valleys and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken.
Somewhere as small as Ufton Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What a roof survey looks like in Ufton Green
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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Peter, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you look after a building such as Sulhamstead and Ufton Nervet School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Landlords with a home close to Aldermaston station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

FAQs for Ufton Green
Do you cover smaller places like Ufton Green?
Yes, Ufton Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
I let a flat near Aldermaston station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t put a figure on it, 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.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
How long will you be at the property?
Allow an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. We’ll confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Ufton Green?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Roof by roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They’re heavy and hard-wearing, but their surfaces weather over the years.
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead flashings seal chimneys, walls and abutments. We check for lead that has lifted, split or slipped, and for flashings replaced with mortar or bitumen.

What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a hamlet or village like Ufton Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Arrange a survey

Related advice
Landlords, agents and block managers in Ufton Green
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
What we cannot see
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- The roof space
- Flat roofs
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Lead flashings
- Chimney stacks
- Natural slate
- Clay and concrete tiles
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Height and safe access
- Roof area
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Which survey package you book
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Booking your survey
We will usually ask about:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Anything about access we should know
When you’re ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
