A Guide to Roof Surveys for Insurance, House Purchases, and Bad Workmanship
I'm often asked how much a roof survey costs, and it depends on what the survey is for.
Three main types of roof surveys.
Roof Survey for Insurance Renewal Cost
This is called a Roof Condition Report. It details the current state of the roof and its expected lifespan, identifying any issues that may arise over time. The primary goal is to provide a positive report for the owner to submit to the insurance company, ensuring both parties understand the roof's condition.

House Purchase Roof Survey Cost
This is the most complex report we offer. Often, a RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) surveyor may recommend a detailed roof inspection if they couldn’t access the roof or spotted defects. This report delves deeply into the roof’s condition, its expected lifespan, and whether it meets current regulations. With today’s emphasis on thermal insulation, replacing a roof now is a different endeavour than it was 20 years ago, potentially doubling the cost due to necessary upgrades.

Roof survey for bad workmanship Cost
This type of roof survey can be quite challenging, especially when previous work has been carried out by roofers who are still on site, and the customer is unhappy with the results and seeks a second opinion. The process involves working closely with the customer, understanding the situation, and establishing communication with the roofers. These surveys can be stressful, but solutions can often be found.
