Roof survey in Wye: what you get
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Every package includes a written report. If you’re worried about ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Wye are 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM rubber around 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.
What we can’t see
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- An exact number of years the roof has left
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- Natural slate
- The roof space
- Flat roofs
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Lead flashings
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Chimney stacks
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 calling someone out after a storm. Around Wye, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Common roof problems in Wye
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, while rain gets into every gap. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
For businesses in and around places such as County Square, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
What to check before booking
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
