Roof surveys in NW2

About roof surveys in NW2

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, along with the loft where it’s safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We survey chimney stacks, clay and concrete tiles and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists.

Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer.

1. We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
2. On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
3. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
4. Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
5. The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.

Practical tips

Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:

• Keep the report with your property records
• Do not climb onto the roof yourself
• Look for debris in the garden after high winds
• Check we can open the loft hatch

If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. The photos show what we found and where, which makes quotes easier to compare.

Keep the loft space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air cannot move, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Check insulation does not block the airflow at the eaves.

How we price roof surveys

Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:

• The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
• Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
• The roof’s overall size
• How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages

For a price for your roof in NW2, ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
