- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
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. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

Roof survey in Roe Green: what you get
There are three levels of survey: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Each one comes with a written report. Common reasons to book are crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, across natural slate, flat roofs and ridges, hips and valleys.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

Roof surveys around Roe Green
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
The streets around a church like Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you own a rental within reach of Ashwell & Morden station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
- Mention any damp patches as you book
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
File the report with your other home documents. It gives you something to compare against later, and it can help when you sell.
Every so frequently, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Take photos of anything that changes.
Why get it checked now?
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. In a place like Roe Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

Signs you need a roof survey in Roe Green
Chimneys stand exposed above the roof. Mortar crumbles, the flaunching around the pots cracks and stacks can lean. Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts at the top of the stack.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
If you look after a building like Sandon Junior Mixed and Infant School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
What to check before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Their report turnaround times
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
