Roof surveys in N7

Roof surveys across N7: what to expect

Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Natural slate can last 100 years or more, and clay and concrete tiles commonly 50 years or more, but the fixings and underlay beneath them often give out sooner. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. We survey the roof space, ridges, hips and valleys and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked mortar along the ridge and torn or sagging underlay.

It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof.

1. We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
2. We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
3. We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
4. Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
5. The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.

Tips that help

A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:

• Stay off ladders and the roof
• Look for debris in the garden after high winds
• Gather any paperwork for past roof work
• Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too

With the Standard Survey you get a follow-up consultation, while Premium includes a consultation in person. It is a chance to ask questions about anything in the report.

Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.

What affects the cost of roof surveys

All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:

• The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
• How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
• Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
• How big the roof is

Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
