Roof survey in Easton: what you get
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photos and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Each one comes with a written report. We survey flat roofs, ridges, hips and valleys and chimney stacks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone.
Older buildings in small places like Easton may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- File the report with your home documents
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. They’ll see each defect and its location, which makes quotes easier to compare.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Easton can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- 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
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
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.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.

Questions from Easton
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Kintbury station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Is my home in Easton listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
How quickly will I get the report?
That depends on which survey you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It is emailed to you.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
How do I book a survey in Easton?
Simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.

Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. They get particular attention in every survey.
