Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Woosehill
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and where it’s relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, clay and concrete tiles and natural slate, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings that have come away from the wall and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles.
In a smaller place like Woosehill, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Coverings range from slate and clay tiles on older homes to concrete tiles on many later ones. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes frequently need the most attention. Nails and battens under older coverings frequently give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What affects the price in Woosehill
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The size of the roof
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Getting in touch
There’s no need for technical words. It is enough to let us know:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- When you need the report by
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.
Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Make sure we can open the loft hatch
Your report arrives by email. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Each finding is set out in plain English, with recommendations.
Look at your roof from the ground after strong winds. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
What a roof survey looks like in Woosehill
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you let a flat or house near Wokingham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. The streets around a church such as Woosehill Community Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you look after a building like Windmill Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Common questions in Woosehill
Do you cover smaller places like Woosehill?
Yes, Woosehill is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
I let a flat near Wokingham station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t put a figure on it, 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.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when you book.
Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Woosehill
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. A report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof.
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Woosehill is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Why act early in Woosehill
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Catching it early means less to put right. In a smaller place like Woosehill, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
