Roof surveys in GU23

Our roof survey service in GU23

Good roofs last decades, but their parts wear at different rates. Natural slate can last 100 years or more, and clay and concrete tiles commonly 50 years or more, yet nails, battens and underlay often fail first. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. That lets you plan work in good time rather than after a leak. We survey flat roofs, the roof space and ridges, hips and valleys, and people most often book us about slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and standing water on a flat roof.

When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take about one to two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building.

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. Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
5. The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.

What affects the price in GU23

A few things affect what a survey costs:

• Which survey package you book
• The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
• Roof area
• How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets

Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we will tell you which fits.

Booking your survey

There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:

• Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
• Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
• Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
• What made you get in touch

When you are ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

Before and after the survey

A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:

• Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
• Do not climb onto the roof yourself
• Keep a record of damp patches and dates
• Gather any paperwork for past roof work

Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. It makes the next steps much clearer.

Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
