Roof survey in Sibley's Green
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. If you’ve noticed blocked, sagging or leaking gutters and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on clay and concrete tiles, lead flashings and chimney stacks alike.
Older buildings in small places like Sibley's Green may be 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. 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.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What else we do in Sibley's Green

Your questions about roof surveys in Sibley's Green
Is Sibley's Green within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
I let a flat near Stansted Airport station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos testing isn’t part of our service. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Sibley's Green?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form 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 if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Sibley's Green
Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, with post-war and more recent estates making up much of the newer housing. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
With Horham Hall about 1.9 miles west, the area around Sibley's Green has a long history. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. If you look after a building such as Putteridge High School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you let a flat or house near Stansted Airport station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a small place like Sibley's Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

Booking your survey
We will usually ask about:
- When you need the report by
- What’s prompted the survey
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack. We note any lean or loose pots.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Ridge and verge mortar on concrete tile roofs can crack and fall away. Loose ridges and gaps in the mortar are recorded.
Why act early in Sibley's Green
Without a survey, you are guessing at what the roof needs. That can lead to the wrong work being done, or to a real problem being missed. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
