Roof survey in MK16: how it works

Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. We check the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. You get a written report with photographs and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. Typical surveys look at torn or sagging underlay and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, across lead flashings, ridges, hips and valleys and chimney stacks.

Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys.

Tips that help

Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:

• Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
• Gather any paperwork for past roof work
• Let us know about past leaks
• Include dormers, porches and garages as you book

Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, while Premium includes a consultation in person. It’s a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.

Don’t block the vents at the eaves. A stuffy loft collects condensation, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.

What a survey costs

When we price a survey, we consider:

• Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
• House, block, shop or office
• How big the roof is
• Which survey package you book

Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

• The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
