About our pre-purchase roof survey in Holyport
We survey roofs for buyers in Holyport and across London and the South East. Whether it is a terrace, a semi, a detached house or a flat, the roof gets the same careful look. The report says what’s in good order, what is not and what to deal with first. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and have 20+ years’ experience. To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We are often asked to look into sagging ridge lines or uneven roof slopes and gutters choked with leaves and moss, on chimney stacks, flat-roofed extensions and dormers and clay and concrete tiles.
Some older homes in villages like Holyport are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you’re buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
A stack stands exposed above the roof line. The pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are all checked.
Gutters and parapets
A butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter, normally to the back of the house. If the home you are buying has one, that gutter and its outlet get a careful look.

Checking the roof from the ground
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Holyport: your questions answered
Will you come out to Holyport?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Holyport?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is a roof survey worth having alongside a home survey?
It depends on the roof and how confident you want to be. Home surveys sometimes suggest a closer look at the roof, and our survey gives you that closer look. It is not a replacement for a RICS survey.
How do I book a survey in Holyport?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Holyport
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Why act early in Holyport
Leaving it means judging the roof from the street. That rarely shows the back slope, the valleys or the top of the chimney. We fill that gap before you’re tied in, with photos of anything that needs attention. Older cottages and farmhouses around Holyport can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

How we price pre-purchase roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How big the roof is
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes about 1–2 hours at the house you’re buying, depending on its size and how much of the roof can be seen. In a hamlet or village like Holyport, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- After your offer is agreed, you book and share your timetable.
- Access to the house and the roof space is agreed beforehand.
- The visit begins outside, from ground level and any safe vantage points.
- Inside, we check the roof space and look at the roof from windows.
- The report is emailed with photos and recommendations, ready to use before exchange.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
