Roof surveys in MK7

Our roof survey service in MK7

A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. We check the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, and the loft space where there is safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. Typical surveys look at gutters that overflow in heavy rain and standing water on a flat roof, across ridges, hips and valleys, flat roofs and chimney stacks.

You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time.

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 the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
4. Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
5. You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.

Practical tips

You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:

• Hold on to the report for future surveys
• Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
• Make sure we can open the loft hatch
• Photograph stains when they appear

Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.

Every so frequently, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Take photos of anything that changes.

What affects the cost of roof surveys

A few things affect what a survey costs:

• The roof’s overall size
• Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
• Height and safe access
• The use of thermal imaging or a drone

Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What we need to know

Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:

• Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
• Any deadline, such as an exchange date
• Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
