Roofers can be highly skilled professionals. But many also undertake repair work, which means their assessment may not be entirely independent. An impartial survey gives you clarity before committing thousands of pounds.

Our Difference

More Than Just A Roof Survey

Independent Advice Before, During And After The Inspection

Most roof survey companies provide a report and leave you to work out the next steps yourself. We believe clients deserve more than that. A roof survey is often the beginning of the decision-making process, not the end of it.

Many clients are left asking:

•Does this defect really need repairing?

•Is this quotation reasonable?

•Has the issue been diagnosed correctly?

•Which defects are urgent?

•Can this work wait?

•What should I do next?

As part of our service, we remain available to help clients understand the findings and make informed decisions based upon independent advice. Because we do not undertake roofing repairs, our guidance remains focused on the client's best interests rather than generating work.

Independent Advice

Clear guidance from an experienced roof inspection specialist.

Understanding The Findings

Helping clients understand what defects mean and how they may affect the property.

Prioritising Repairs

Not every defect requires immediate action. We help clients understand what matters most.

Reviewing Quotations

Many clients ask us to review quotations and recommendations they have received.

Homebuyer Support

Helping purchasers understand roofing liabilities before committing to a property purchase.

Confidence Before Commitment

Providing clarity before major expenditure is approved.

"Many clients tell us the most valuable part of the service is not simply receiving the report, but having access to an independent specialist who can explain the findings and help them understand their options."

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a roof survey cost?

Our independent roof surveys start from £499. The exact cost depends on the size, type and complexity of the property and the scope of inspection required. We provide a fixed quote before any work begins — no hidden fees, no surprises.

Why use an independent roof surveyor?

An independent surveyor has no incentive to recommend unnecessary repairs. Unlike roofing contractors who may also quote for repair work, our findings are completely unbiased. You receive honest, evidence-based advice to help you make informed decisions.

Do you carry out repairs?

No. We inspect and report only. We do not undertake any roofing repair work. This is what makes our service genuinely independent — there is no conflict of interest, because we do not benefit from any repairs you may later choose to have carried out.

Can you inspect a newly installed roof?

Yes. Many clients commission us to inspect recently completed roofing work. An independent assessment can verify workmanship quality and identify any defects before guarantees expire or before final payment is made.

Can you inspect roofs for insurance purposes?

Yes. We provide detailed, professionally written reports with photographic evidence that may support insurance claims, disputes and policy requirements.

How quickly will I receive my report?

We deliver reports within 48 hours of the inspection. Reports include detailed written findings, photographic evidence, defect identification and practical recommendations.

What areas do you cover?

We cover all of Berkshire — including Reading, Slough, Windsor, Maidenhead, Bracknell, Wokingham, Newbury, Ascot, Thatcham and Caversham — and surrounding areas in neighbouring counties. Contact us with your postcode and we will confirm availability for your location.
