Roof surveys in CO3

Roof surveys across CO3: what to expect

There are three levels of survey: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. We survey flat roofs, chimney stacks and clay and concrete tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings that have come away from the wall and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved.

Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are.

1. You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
2. We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
3. We check the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
4. Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
5. You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.

Practical tips

A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:

• Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
• Move stored items away from the loft hatch
• Hold on to the report for future surveys
• Watch for slipped slates after bad weather

The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. That helps you decide what to do first.

Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.

How we price roof surveys

Several things affect the price of a survey:

• Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
• Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
• The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
• Which survey package you book

The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

What we need to know

When you call or email, these details help:

• What’s prompted the survey
• Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
• The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
• Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
