"Pre-purchase survey on a 1908 detached in Wilmslow. The report was thorough, clearly written and identified £4,000 of work the seller had not disclosed. Worth every penny."
"Annual survey on our Victorian semi — they check it every October before winter. Two minor repairs flagged this year, both done same day. Far cheaper than waiting for a leak."
"Insurance report after storm damage. Report delivered next morning with all photos and condition grading. Insurer accepted it without question."
A standard roof condition survey in Wilmslow costs £150–£300 depending on property size and access requirements. The report is delivered in writing within 24 hours and includes photographic evidence, condition grading and priority recommendations.
A standard homebuyer survey covers roof condition briefly but rarely in sufficient detail for Wilmslow's older properties. A dedicated roof survey is strongly recommended for any Victorian, Edwardian or 1930s property — the cost of a survey is a fraction of an unexpected re-roof.
Our Wilmslow roof surveys cover: tile or slate condition, ridge and hip mortar, valley and flashing condition, gutter condition, visible rafter and boarding condition from the loft space, chimney stack and pointing, and any evidence of previous repair work. Delivered as a written report with photos and priority-graded action list.
Yes. Our written survey reports include photographic evidence and condition assessments suitable for submission to insurance providers for claim support or policy compliance purposes.
Our surveyors are NFRC-member roofing contractors with 15+ years of practical experience in the Wilmslow and Cheshire East area. We are trade specialists, not general building surveyors — we identify defects that only become visible with roofing trade knowledge.
Yes, and we encourage it. Having the owner or buyer present means we can explain findings in real time. For pre-purchase surveys, solicitors or estate agents are also welcome.
Reports cover: tile/slate condition, ridge and hips, valleys and flashings, chimneys, guttering and fascia, loft space. Each element is graded A-D. Photos accompany every non-A grading. Cost estimates for C and D items included.
We provide dedicated roof survey services across these nearby towns and villages.
A roof survey on a Wilmslow property covers more than the tile or slate condition visible from the ground. We access from scaffold at eaves level on all four elevations, inspect all valley lead, chimney flashings, dormer cheeks, ridge and hip mortar, and any flat roof sections. We also inspect from inside the roof void — rafter condition, sarking board integrity, evidence of moisture ingress, insulation depth and ventilation adequacy. The written report covers all elements with photographs and a condition grade.
The most common pre-purchase survey finding on Wilmslow 1930s detached properties is valley lead condition. Original Code 4 valley lead at 85–90 years old is within 5–15 years of end of life depending on bay specification and maintenance history. This is not a defect that a standard homebuyer survey identifies — the surveyor notes 'lead valleys — specialist survey recommended' without quantifying the condition. Our surveys quantify it: condition grade, remaining service life estimate, and repair cost range.
Pre-sale surveys on Wilmslow properties allow vendors to either repair defects at their chosen contractor's price before marketing, or to present buyers with a clear condition report that removes the basis for post-survey price reduction. In Wilmslow's active period property market, a pre-sale roof survey typically recovers its cost within the first week of marketing.
Pre-purchase surveys cover all accessible external roof elements plus loft void inspection. Report includes condition grading, remaining service life estimates and repair cost ranges. Delivered within 24 hours of inspection. Annual condition surveys are a pre-winter inspection covering all lead, mortar and flashings — identifying minor defects before they become emergency repairs. Insurance surveys are written for insurer consumption and include causal analysis and repair specification. Mortgage valuation support surveys address the specific defects flagged by a mortgage surveyor and provide the condition report the lender requires to release funds.
