About our roof survey in Winterbrook
We survey roofs in Winterbrook and across London and the South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. When you’re ready to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Typical surveys look at flashings that have come away from the wall and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, on natural slate, the roof space and ridges, hips and valleys.
In a village or hamlet like Winterbrook, older cottages and farmhouses frequently 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. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

FAQs for Winterbrook
Is drone flying allowed in Winterbrook?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. RAF Benson is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
Can a landlord with a rental near Cholsey station book a roof survey?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
How do I book a survey in Winterbrook?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.

What a roof survey looks like in Winterbrook
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. RAF Benson is about 3 miles from Winterbrook. Where the drone is part of the survey, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first.
Homes near green spaces such as Kinecroft can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. If you look after a building like Cholsey Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St John the Baptist's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. It normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Winterbrook, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.

Different roofs, different checks
Clay plain and peg tiles
Handmade and machine-made clay tiles are long-lasting. We check for cracked, slipped and missing tiles.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Mortar at ridges and verges frequently cracks on tiled roofs. We check for loose ridge tiles and missing mortar, as wind can lift them.

Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Let us know about past leaks
- Check we can open the loft hatch
- Leave roof access to professionals
With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. It is a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Photograph anything new.
