Roof surveys in MK9

How a roof survey works in MK9

There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, others want a check before selling or after years without one. The approach is the same in each case: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. We are frequently asked to look into worn lead at chimneys and abutments and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, across ridges, hips and valleys, clay and concrete tiles and the roof space.

Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there.

1. We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
2. We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
3. The roof is inspected from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
4. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
5. We email a report with photographs and recommendations.

What a survey costs

Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:

• The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
• House, block, shop or office
• The shape of the roof and its details
• Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed

To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Booking your survey

You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:

• Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
• Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
• The property’s address and postcode
• Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof

Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Tips from our surveys

Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:

• Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
• Have details of recent roof work to hand
• Check we can open the loft hatch
• Do not climb onto the roof yourself

The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. It makes the next steps much clearer.

Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Take photos of anything that changes.
