Roof surveys in SL4

Roof surveys across SL4: what to expect

There are three levels of survey: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Every package includes a written report. We survey flat roofs, clay and concrete tiles and natural slate, and people most often book us about ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and water stains on rafters and ceiling joists.

When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys.

1. We start with the property details and any concerns.
2. A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
3. Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
4. Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
5. We email a written report with photos and recommendations.

Prices in SL4

What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Tips from our surveys

Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:

• Have details of recent roof work to hand
• Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
• Leave roof access to professionals
• Let us know about past leaks

File the report with your other home documents. It’s a useful baseline for future surveys, and it can help when you sell.

Don’t block the vents at the eaves. A stuffy loft collects condensation, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
