What a survey costs

- Height and safe access
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The shape of the roof and its details
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

About our roof survey in Moss End
Across London and South East England, roofs differ widely. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Every part gets the attention it needs. We survey flat roofs, clay and concrete tiles and chimney stacks, and people most frequently book us about loose chimney pots and condensation or damp timbers in the loft.
Some older homes in villages like Moss End are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. 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 doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Your questions about roof surveys in Moss End
Can a landlord with a rental near Bracknell station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Will you come out to Moss End?
Yes, Moss End is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We don’t put a figure on it, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.
What does a roof survey cost?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords and agents in Moss End book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Do you need a roof survey in Moss End?
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building, particularly near trees.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Garth Hill College, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What happens after the report arrives
- What the survey will not cover
Moss End homes and their roofs
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
The streets around a church like Church of St Michael and All Angels are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Lexicon, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

Why it is worth a survey now in Moss End
Before you put a home on the market, it helps to know the roof’s condition. You’ll know what a buyer’s survey might pick up, or at least know what to expect. For an older or listed building in a place like Moss End, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Cottages and farmhouses around Moss End frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
