A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through in the first heavy storms. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. Older cottages and farmhouses around Foreland Fields can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

About our new roof snagging in Foreland Fields
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we look at the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photos. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. If you’ve noticed flashings not properly dressed or fixed and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Foreland Fields are listed or sit in a conservation area. That can affect what materials a new roof may use, so check with the council and Historic England’s list. For a buyer or someone with a newly finished roof, it’s worth knowing which applies, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Foreland Fields questions
Will you come out to Foreland Fields?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is the coastal weather around Foreland Fields hard on roofs?
Yes, coastal weather is harder on roofs: there’s more wind, and more salt in the air. Ridges, verges, flashings and fixings are where it typically shows.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Are you insured?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
