Roof surveys in King's Lynn
A written report with photographs from the roof, so you know what it needs before anybody quotes you for a roof.
Most people ring a roofer already half convinced they need a new roof, usually because somebody knocked on the door and told them so. Often they do not. A survey settles it, and it settles it with photographs rather than an opinion.
What the survey covers
Somebody gets on the roof. Not a look from the ground with binoculars, and not a drone. We check the covering, the battens and felt where they can be seen, the ridge and verge fixings, the valleys, the flashings and the chimney, and the gutters and fascias. Then you get a written report with a photograph against every defect and a plain sentence saying whether it needs doing now, this year, or in five years.
Buying a house in King’s Lynn
Homebuyer reports almost always say "the roof covering could not be fully inspected" and recommend a specialist. That is what this is. If you are mid-purchase tell us, because a report that names a figure is the one you can take back to the vendor.
What it costs
- £180 for a standard house survey and written report
- Refunded in full against any work over £2,000 you go on to book with us
- No obligation to book anything, and the report is yours either way

Roof survey & report in King's Lynn: common questions
Do you survey from the ground?
No. Somebody gets on the roof. A survey done from the pavement cannot see the thing that is usually wrong.
Can I use the report to get other quotes?
Yes, and we would rather you did. A report that only works if you use us is a sales document, not a survey.
What our customers say
"Re-roofed our semi in Gaywood. Quoted £8,900 including the scaffold and that is exactly what we paid. Found a rotten wall plate on day two, rang me from the roof with a photo and gave me a price for it before touching it. Rare."
"Ridge came off in the January gale. Rang at nine, somebody was here by two and it was sheeted before the rain came back. Proper repair done the following week."
"Paid for the survey because I had two roofers telling me I needed a new roof. Report came back saying the roof had another ten years in it and the actual problem was the chimney flashing. Cost me £180 to save several thousand."
"Very good work on the flat roof over the kitchen and a fair price. Only reason for four rather than five is we waited about three weeks to get started, though we were told that up front."
"Our place at Heacham is about as exposed as it gets. They specified stainless fixings and clipped the whole perimeter, explained why, and it has been through two winters without losing a tile."
"Chimney repointed on a listed house on the North Brink. Used lime mortar without me having to ask, which is more than the last lot did. Conservation officer was happy."
