Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Little Easton
Good roofs last decades, but their parts wear at different rates. Slate frequently lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, but the fixings and underlay beneath them often give out sooner. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. That lets you plan work in good time rather than after a leak. We’re often asked to look into condensation or damp timbers in the loft and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, across chimney stacks, the roof space and lead flashings.
Some older homes in villages like Little Easton are 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 frequently expected.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The size of the roof
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- When you need the report by
- The kind of building and roof involved
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. It makes the next steps much clearer.
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.

The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Somewhere like Little Easton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You tell us about the property and any concerns.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Advice
Little Easton homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Horham Hall, about 3.5 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Little Easton goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. The flight restriction zone around Stansted Airport comes within about 2 miles of Little Easton. Where the drone is part of the survey, the exact boundary is checked for the address first.
If you own a rental within reach of Stansted Airport station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take a building like Helena Romanes School and Sixth Form Centre: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Do you need a roof survey in Little Easton?
Chimneys stand exposed above the roof. Mortar crumbles, the flaunching around the pots cracks and stacks can lean. Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts at the top of the stack.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- When you will get the report
- Their insurance cover
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- What they won’t be able to tell you
Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
