How we price pre-purchase roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How big the roof is
- Height and safe access
- Which survey package you book
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Helping us price your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

Quidhampton: your questions answered
Is my home in Quidhampton listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover smaller places like Quidhampton?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
At what stage of buying should I get the roof surveyed?
Once your offer has been accepted, and before exchange. That way you can still act on what we find.
Do you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft and from the roof itself where safe. On Premium, a drone is used where applicable.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when booking.
Do I need a roof survey if I’m having a RICS survey?
It’s your choice, but the two do different jobs. A RICS home survey covers the whole building, while ours looks only at the roof, in more detail. Our survey complements a RICS survey and does not replace one.
Why get it checked now?
A good many buyers go ahead anyway, but with their eyes open. The report shows what needs doing first, and you can line up a roofer before small faults grow. For an older or listed building in a place like Quidhampton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Why us?
- 98% customer satisfaction
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Visits on any day of the week

Surveys for landlords and agents in Quidhampton
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
Do you need a pre-purchase roof survey in Quidhampton?
Gutter problems frequently look minor from the street. Overflowing water soaks walls and can rot the timber behind. Hidden gutters behind parapets or in roof valleys can send water indoors. They’re part of what we check.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have come loose
- A ridge or slope that dips
- Quick fixes on flashings and valleys
- Gutters choked with leaves and moss
If you own a rental within reach of Overton station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What the survey will not cover

What else we do in Quidhampton
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Rural addresses near Quidhampton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- Once your offer is accepted, you let us know the address and when you hope to exchange.
- We arrange access with you, the agent or the seller, including the loft.
- The visit begins outside, from ground level and any safe vantage points.
- We then look from upstairs windows and inside the loft where it is safe.
- You get a written report with photos and recommendations before you exchange.
Before we arrive
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Pre-purchase roof surveys around Quidhampton
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Useful tips for Quidhampton property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Ask whether there are papers for past roof work
- Pass the findings to your conveyancer
- Watch for stains or fresh paint on ceilings below the roof
- Tell us your exchange date when booking
The report gives any roofer you ask to quote a clear brief. The photos show the defects and where they are, so each quote covers the same ground.
Keep an eye on chimneys and flashings in your new home. Watch for gaps in the pointing, cracked flaunching and loose lead. Binoculars from the ground are enough for a first look.
