Coleshill Roof Survey
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in Coleshill, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
What affects the cost of roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- House, block, shop or office
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How a roof survey works in Coleshill
We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it is safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where it applies, a drone, which helps with tall or steep roofs. You do not need to do anything except give us access. Everything we see is photographed for the report. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs and the roof space, and people most often book us about blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and cracked mortar along the ridge.
Somewhere as small as Coleshill, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

What we look for on each type of roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we look at them too. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. We look for lifted, cracked or slipped tiles.

Common questions in Coleshill
Will you come out to Coleshill?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Coleshill is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
What do you check on a roof survey?
All the main parts of the roof: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
How soon is the report ready?
That depends on which survey you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. We send it by email.
Do you go up on the roof?
Where it’s safe, yes. Much of the survey is done from ground level, upper windows and the loft space. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.
How long will you be at the property?
The visit typically takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. We will give you an idea of timing when booking.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Coleshill 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.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Roof surveys around Coleshill
Historic houses like Chenies Manor House, about 4.6 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Coleshill goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you look after a building such as Coleshill Church of England Infant School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For landlords with property near Amersham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Mention any damp patches when you book
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. That helps you decide what to do first.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
