How a roof survey works in Warfield Park
Across London and the South East, roofs differ widely. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. Common reasons to book are condensation or damp timbers in the loft and worn lead at chimneys and abutments, across the roof space, flat roofs and ridges, hips and valleys.
In a smaller place like Warfield Park, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Warfield Park questions
Do you cover smaller places like Warfield Park?
Yes, Warfield Park is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Warfield Park?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
How long will you be at the property?
The visit typically takes about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. We will give you an idea of timing when booking.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. A survey sets a baseline, which makes later changes easy to spot. Arranging work in a smaller place like Warfield Park is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.

What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, it typically takes an hour or two for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Warfield Park, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive

- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- File the report with your home documents
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. It is a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Look at your roof from the ground after strong winds. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings and valleys
Many older houses have lead in their valleys and hidden gutters. Worn or split lead lets water straight in, and lead is a target for theft.
Flat roof coverings
Repeated coatings can hide what’s underneath. We say what we can see and when a closer look would need opening up.
Do you need a roof survey in Warfield Park?
A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts at the top of the stack.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
Take an older house close to St Martin's Church: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Roof surveys around Warfield Park
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Warfield Park is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. On homes of that age, felt underlay, flat roofs, gutters and fixings may all be due attention.
St Leonard's Hill lies about 4.3 miles north-east, so building around Warfield Park goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. If you run a business near The Lexicon, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
