Roof surveys in PO33

Roof surveys across PO33: what to expect

People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends, so it is easy to find a day that suits. We are often asked to look into torn or sagging underlay and flashings that have come away from the wall, on the roof space, natural slate and chimney stacks.

Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are.

1. You pick the package that suits your roof.
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. Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
5. You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.

Tips that help

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

• File the report with your home documents
• Keep a record of damp patches and dates
• Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
• Stay off ladders and the roof

Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. You can ask us about anything that isn’t clear.

After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.

Prices for roof surveys in PO33
