Roof surveys in AL4

Roof surveys across AL4: what to expect

Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photos and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. We survey lead flashings, flat roofs and natural slate, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are lifted, split or missing lead flashings and valley linings that have cracked or split.

When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are.

1. You pick the package that suits your roof.
2. On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
3. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
4. Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
5. The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.

Prices for roof surveys in AL4

Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:

• Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
• The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
• Roof area
• The type of building, from a house to a block or an office

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. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Helping us price your survey

If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:

• The address and postcode of the property
• Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
• Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
• Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof

Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
