Roof survey in North Crawley: what you get
The report is written for you, in plain language. Each defect is described with photos and a recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. We’re often asked to look into flashings that have come away from the wall and standing water on a flat roof, across flat roofs, chimney stacks and natural slate.
Older buildings in small places like North Crawley may be 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.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Which survey package you book
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
What to let us know when you get in touch
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What’s prompted the survey
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
North Crawley questions
How do I find out if my home in North Crawley is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is North Crawley in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in North Crawley as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What do you check on a roof survey?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
How long does a roof survey take?
On site, it usually takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Report times depend on the package.
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. On timing, it normally takes an hour or two for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older roofs in small places like North Crawley can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.

- An exact number of years the roof has left
- A full building survey of the property

What happens if roof problems are left?
It is easier to plan roof work than to react to it. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than waiting for something to fail. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
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. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Signs you need a roof survey in North Crawley
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. On slate roofs, corroded nails let slates slip, which is known as ‘nail fatigue’. On tiled roofs, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone.
People typically book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Loose chimney pots
Take an older house close to Church of St Firmin: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
