Roof survey in Madley Park
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the loft space where there’s safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. Where it is relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. If you are worried about slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Around Madley Park, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from ground level.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Common questions in Madley Park
I let a flat near Combe station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Madley Park?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes, we can. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we’ll say so.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when you book.
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.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a smaller place like Madley Park, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- 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
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Check pets are kept safely away

Why act early in Madley Park
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. An overflow there sends water indoors. We look at them before they cause trouble. Arranging work in a smaller place like Madley Park is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
What you get with us
- Every finding written up with photos
- Prices that include VAT
- Over 20 years’ experience
- An independent view of the roof

What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
When you need someone else
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- The condition of the rest of the building (that’s a RICS home survey)
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.

What a roof survey looks like in Madley Park
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Historic houses like Minster Lovell Hall, about 2.9 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Madley Park goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Anyone responsible for a site like Madley Brook Community Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you live in an older home near Church of Holy Trinity, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
