Redford Roof Survey
Roof surveys across Redford, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The roof’s overall size
- The shape of the roof and its details
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. You will know the price for your survey before booking.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- What’s prompted the survey
- The kind of building and roof involved
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Redford
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 applicable, a drone, for roofs that are hard to see well. You do not need to do anything except give us access. Everything we see is photographed for the report. We survey lead flashings, clay and concrete tiles and chimney stacks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and loose chimney pots.
Older buildings in small places like Redford 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. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What a roof survey does not cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.

What else we do in Redford
The survey, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Redford frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Keep the report with your property records
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
- Tell us about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. That helps you decide what to do first.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, particularly after autumn. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.

How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we check them too. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Redford
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. For older village homes like those around Redford, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
