A roof condition survey for homes and buildings across Woolley Green, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
Practical tips
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Let us know about past leaks
Your report arrives by email, with photos of what we found. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Findings are explained in plain words.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Woolley Green
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Natural slate can last 100 years or more, and clay and concrete tiles commonly 50 years or more, yet nails, battens and underlay frequently fail first. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. That lets you plan work in good time rather than after a leak. If you’re worried about water stains on rafters and ceiling joists and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, we can find out what’s behind it, on lead flashings, chimney stacks and ridges, hips and valleys alike.
Somewhere as small as Woolley Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older rural homes like those around Woolley Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You tell us about the property and any concerns.
- 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 is safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- We email a report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or email us. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. When they do, water comes straight into the house. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. Around Woolley Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.

What a roof survey looks like in Woolley Green
About 3.3 miles north-west lies Harleyford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Woolley Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take an older house close to Saint John the Evangelist: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Landlords with a home close to Maidenhead station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Homes near green spaces such as Ockwells Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Different roofs, different checks
Natural slate
From the loft, we check the underside of a slate roof. There may be old felt underlay, or none at all on very old roofs, and we note its condition.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted, particularly at the verges and ridge.
