What a survey costs

- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How big the roof is
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Helping us price your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it’s useful to mention:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them

Storm damage roof report in Hadham Ford: what you get
Each roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints available: the ground, windows and vantage points, the loft where there is access, and the roof itself where that is safe. Every area of damage is photographed and described. We note any part we couldn’t see. The report, with photos, is yours to pass to your insurer. We survey gutters and fascias, flat roofs and slate and tile slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are flat roof edges peeled back and damaged gutters and fascias.
Roofs in small places like Hadham Ford often stand in the open, where storms hit ridges, verges and chimneys hardest. Once water gets into older walls, it takes a long time to dry, so it pays to find the cause quickly. A record with photos is useful if you need to show the damage to anyone else.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there.

- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.

FAQs for Hadham Ford
Do you cover smaller places like Hadham Ford?

Is Hadham Ford in the area you cover?

Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please don’t climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
What happens if roof problems are left?
If a roofer needs to make the roof safe, take photos first if you can do so safely from the ground. That keeps a record of how it looked. Older and listed buildings around Hadham Ford may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Photograph the damage safely from below
- Check how your policy defines a storm
For repair costs, ask a roofer to quote. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
A well-maintained roof stands up to storms better. Fix slipped slates, loose ridges and lifted flashings when you spot them.
