About roof surveys in MK10
We survey roofs in MK10 and across London and the South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We are often asked to look into loose chimney pots and worn lead at chimneys and abutments, across ridges, hips and valleys, the roof space and clay and concrete tiles.
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Prices in MK10

Roofs, chimneys and gutters across MK10
Across MK10, from Middleton, Broughton and Kingston outwards, roofs range from old slate and clay tile to modern concrete tiles and flat roofs. Chimneys, valleys, flashings and gutters are usually where the work is.
Our area covers London and the South East, including MK10. Housing here runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates.
Milton Keynes: If you let a flat or house near Milton Keynes Central station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of Christ the Cornerstone, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
What we’re asked to look at in MK10
Some damage starts inside the loft space. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It’s often mistaken for a leak.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
Surveys for landlords and agents in MK10
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in MK10. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Why get it checked now?
A small roof defect typically gets bigger. One slipped slate lets water reach the battens and underlay, and wet timber starts to decay. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What happens after the report arrives
How the survey changes by roof type
Natural slate
From the loft, we look at the underside of a slate roof. Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay, and very old roofs none.
Chimney stacks
Each chimney’s pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are checked, as far as we can safely see them. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.

FAQs for MK10
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we will arrange another day with you.
Do you cover MK10 for roof surveys?
Yes, we do. MK10 is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It isn’t a structural engineer’s report and doesn’t include calculations.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How do I arrange a roof survey in MK10?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How much does a roof survey cost in MK10?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
