Roof surveys in AL7

Roof surveys across AL7: what to expect

There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. The approach is the same in each case: a careful look, then a clear written report. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. We survey flat roofs, ridges, hips and valleys and lead flashings, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are lifted, split or missing lead flashings and loose ridge or hip tiles.

Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof.

1. You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
2. A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
3. Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
4. Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
5. You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.

What a survey costs

Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:

• Height and safe access
• Roof area
• Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
• Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own

Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Helping us price your survey

A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:

• When you need the report by
