Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Brook
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
Take a building like Brook Community Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Landlords with a home close to Wye station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Brook
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, and the loft space where there is safe access. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it is relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. If you’ve noticed debris building up in roof valleys and standing water on a flat roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Brook, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Brook can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.

What a roof survey doesn’t cover
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.

- Lead flashings

Common roof problems in Brook
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Lead is also a target for theft.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Worn or blocked valleys
Shop and office owners around County Square may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
What affects the price in Brook
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The roof’s overall size
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before you book.
Booking your survey
There is no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Brook. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. When they do, water comes straight into the house. We look at them before they cause trouble. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

- Visits on any day of the week

Brook: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Brook is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Brook within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
How quickly will I get the report?
That depends on which survey you choose: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. It is emailed to you.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
