About our roof survey in Wormley
Everything we check, we check safely: from the ground, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it is safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone, which helps with tall or steep roofs. You do not need to do anything except give us access. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. If you are worried about ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a smaller place like Wormley, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are typically where the work is. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Wormley: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Broxbourne station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Do you cover smaller places like Wormley?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
How long will you be at the property?
The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We will give you an idea of timing as you book.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Signs you need a roof survey in Wormley
Slates and tiles often outlast the fixings that hold them. ‘Nail fatigue’ is common on slate roofs: the nails rust and the slates slide. On tiled roofs, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone, letting tiles move.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Homes near green spaces like Cheshunt Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Their track record with similar roofs
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
How the survey changes by roof type
Natural slate
Slate is common on older homes in London and the South East. Widespread slipping usually points to corroded nails, and we say how widespread it looks.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we look at them too. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
What happens on the day
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a smaller place like Wormley, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Prices for roof surveys in Wormley
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:

- The roof’s overall size
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
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.
