What affects the price in Moortown
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Roof area
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Anything about access we should know
We confirm the price for the job before booking, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
How a roof survey works in Moortown
We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it’s safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where it applies, a drone, for roofs that are hard to see well. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. If you’ve noticed worn or blocked valleys and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Moortown 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. One slipped slate lets water reach the battens and underlay, and wet timber starts to decay. Catching it early means less to put right. In a small place like Moortown, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.

Moortown homes and their roofs
The coast is about 2 miles or less from Moortown, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Historic houses such as Mottistone Manor, about 1.3 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Moortown goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. The streets around a church such as St. Mary's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Moortown is about 6 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Moortown can all book roof surveys. Moortown is one of the places in the Isle of Wight we cover for roof surveys. Portsmouth is in our area too.

What this survey cannot tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- An exact number of years the roof has left
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
Roofs we survey in Moortown
- Lead flashings
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Natural slate
- The roof space
- Chimney stacks
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Flat roofs
Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Your questions about roof surveys in Moortown
Do roofs near the sea, like those around Moortown, take more of a battering?
Often, yes. Moortown is within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Moortown?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, along with the loft where it’s safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How quickly will I get the report?

Surveys for landlords and agents in Moortown
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a hamlet or village like Moortown, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, 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.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint 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
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets in another room
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
