Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Coldmoorholme
We survey roofs in Coldmoorholme and across London and the South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. When you’re ready to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. If you’re worried about flashings that have come away from the wall and condensation or damp timbers in the loft, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Coldmoorholme, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Mention any damp patches as you book
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Keep the roof space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air can’t move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Rural addresses near Coldmoorholme can be hard to find from a postcode alone, 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.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Booking a survey

Different roofs, different checks
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted.
Chimney stacks
Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts with the stack outside. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
Roof surveys in Coldmoorholme: local notes
The wider area around Coldmoorholme has a long history of building, with Cliveden about 2.2 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Claytons Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you live in an older home near St Mark, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For businesses in and around places such as Eden, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

Coldmoorholme: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Coldmoorholme?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Coldmoorholme?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It is not a structural engineer’s report and does not include calculations.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only when it is safe. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft, and Premium includes a drone where it applies.
What does a roof survey include?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the loft space where there’s safe access. You get a report with photos and recommendations.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. Our report notes any materials that might, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check them.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before you book, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
