Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Horsemere Green
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where conditions allow. 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. If you’ve noticed ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and debris building up in roof valleys, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a hamlet or village like Horsemere Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
What a roof survey doesn’t cover
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:

Local roofs in Horsemere Green
Horsemere Green lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and wind near the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
The streets around a church like The Parish Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like St Mary's CofE Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What we’re asked to look at in Horsemere Green
Not every roof problem comes from outside. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, wetting timbers and insulation. It is often mistaken for a leak.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Loose chimney pots
If you own a rental within reach of Ford station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Common questions in Horsemere Green
Is the coastal weather around Horsemere Green hard on roofs?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Is Horsemere Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Horsemere Green is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We do not put a figure on it, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft.
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Prices for roof surveys in Horsemere Green

- What kind of property and roof it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window

Why act early in Horsemere Green

Prices start from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT.
