Weston: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Kintbury station?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do you cover smaller places like Weston?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How much does a roof survey cost in Weston?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it is agreed before booking.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. We flag materials that could contain it, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as an exact number, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
How soon is the report ready?
That depends on which survey you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. We send it by email.
About our roof survey in Weston
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. Common reasons to book are slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and condensation or damp timbers in the loft, on natural slate, flat roofs and clay and concrete tiles.
In a small place like Weston, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Most leaks begin at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. That is why we look at them closely.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Mortar at ridges and verges frequently cracks on tiled roofs. Loose ridges and gaps in the mortar are recorded.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Check we can open the loft hatch
- Photograph stains when they appear
- File the report with your home documents
- Stay off ladders and the roof
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Compare each report with the last.
What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Height and safe access
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Which survey package you book
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What we need to know
These details help when you get in touch:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
What a roof survey looks like in Weston
Historic houses such as Benham Park, about 4.7 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Weston goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you let a flat or house near Kintbury station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you live in an older home near St Thomas' Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
