Roof surveys in HP5

Our roof survey service in HP5

Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Every package includes a written report. We survey lead flashings, chimney stacks and natural slate, and common reasons people get in touch are slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and standing water on a flat roof.

We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours.

1. You tell us 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 roof space where there’s safe access.
5. You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.

Tips that help

A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:

• File the report with your home documents
• Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
• Take photos of any leaks as they happen
• Have details of recent roof work to hand

The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. It makes the next steps much clearer.

Look at your roof from the ground after strong winds. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.

What affects the cost of roof surveys

When we price a survey, we consider:

• Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
• Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
• Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
• How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see

Every price we give includes VAT. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.

Booking your survey

A little information up front helps. Please include:

• What’s prompted the survey
• The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
• Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
• Any deadline, such as an exchange date
