Our roof survey service in CV35
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it is safe. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where it applies, for roofs that are hard to see well. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Everything we see is photographed for the report. We are often asked to look into crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters, across flat roofs, chimney stacks and natural slate.
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- 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.

Landmarks near Edgehill
Around Edgehill, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Castle at Edgehill pub and Church of St Peter, among other places. Nearby you’ll also find W. O. Bentley Memorial Foundation (3.5 miles south-east) and King John's Castle (3.5 miles north-west). The countryside around Edgehill includes Edge Hill.
Roof surveys across CV35: local notes
Across CV35, from Edgehill outwards, roofs range from old slate and clay tile to modern concrete tiles and flat roofs. The usual weak points are fixings, flashings, chimneys and gutters.
We work right across London and the South East, from the Isle of Wight to Hertfordshire, and CV35 is well within that. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends.
Edgehill: Historic houses like Upton House, about 1 mile south, show how far back building around Edgehill goes. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Honest limits
It is useful to know what a survey will not do before booking:
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
Signs you need a roof survey
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while rain gets into every gap. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Standing water on a flat roof
Useful tips for CV35 property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep the report with your property records
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Stay off ladders and the roof
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
Surveys for landlords and agents in CV35
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Damp on a chimney breast inside frequently starts with the stack outside. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
Flat roof coverings
Standing water, blisters and splits all point to wear. Upstands and outlets are checked too.
CV35 questions
Will you climb onto the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from ground level, windows and the roof space.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
How much does a roof survey cost in CV35?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it is agreed before booking.
How soon is the report ready?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We do not 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.
How long does the visit take?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
