Most people only look at their roof when it leaks. By then the water has been through the tiles, the membrane and the felt, and into the timber. A survey finds the faults while they are still a small repair.
Our survey is free, with no obligation, and it comes from roofers who do the work. Over 25 years' experience shows us which cracks matter and which do not. One reviewer who invited us to inspect their roof and guttering said we gave them information and photographs of the work required, and that the quote was good value.
We go over the whole roof, outside and in. Each part fails in its own way, so each gets its own check.
We look at every tile or slate for cracks, slips and wear, and at the ridge, hips, valleys and verges. Loose mortar, rocking ridge tiles and failed nails show up here first.
Water gets in where the roof meets something else. We check the lead flashings and soakers around chimneys, dormers and walls, and the pointing, flaunching and pots on the stack itself.
We check gutters for leaking joints and falls, and fascias and soffits for rot and gaps. A failed roof edge lets water into the rafters and the wall.
On felt, rubber and fibreglass roofs we look for blistering, splits, ponding water and failed outlets, and at the upstands and edges where leaks begin.
From inside we check the underside of the covering, the membrane, the battens and the rafters. Daylight, wet timber, rusted nail tips, stained insulation and black mould tell us what the outside cannot.
Book a survey after a storm, after the first sign of a stain on a ceiling, before you buy or sell, and before you get a quote for any large roofing job. A yearly check on an older roof keeps repairs small.
A homebuyer's report gives the roof a line or two from the ground. A survey from us goes onto the roof and into the loft, so you know what you are really buying. If you are selling, a survey means no surprises when the buyer's surveyor comes round.
You get the facts in plain English. We show you photographs of each fault, explain it, and give you your options in simple terms with the most cost effective solution first. Anything urgent comes first, and anything that can wait is marked clearly.
If you want us to do the work, we give you a detailed quote with materials and labour split out, plus any third party charges and a timetable. We will beat any written quote. If you do not want the work done, you owe us nothing.
When a repair will do, we say so, because we would rather earn your trust than sell a job you do not need. One reviewer said the advice they were given initially was honest and turned out to be genuine.
When a roof really is at the end of its life, we show you why, with photographs. The new roofs page covers a full re-roof, roof repairs covers the smaller faults, and the roof repair cost guide explains what changes the price.
We inspect roofs on Victorian terraces with slate, 1930s semis with clay tiles, post-war estates with concrete tiles and newer builds. Each has its own weak points, and we check them. The office is in Dunstable, and we visit across Luton, Bedford, St Albans, Hitchin and the towns around them.
If your survey points to rain getting in at the lead or the chimney, see lead work and chimney repairs for how we fix it.
Call or send the form. One of our team arranges a visit at a convenient time and surveys your property, with no obligation.
We check the roof from a ladder, scaffold tower or roof ladder, then inspect the loft from the inside. A risk assessment comes before we step onto the roof.
We show you photographs of the faults and explain your options in simple terms, with the most cost effective solution first. We never push you to decide.
For any work, you get a detailed quote with materials and labour split out and a timetable. We promise to beat any written quote.

Word for word, each one linked to the platform it was left on.
I had invited them to inspect my roof and guttering. They provided me with information and photographs of the work that was required. The quote was good value. When they undertook the work, it was very professional, with further photographs to allow me to inspect the work undertaken and completed. Happy to recommend.
Hugh and his team were recommended to us by a neighbour. He did a really thorough job when carrying out his initial survey and didn't push us to make a decision. We were quoted a competitive price and ended up having our whole roof replaced. The work was done really quickly, but to a high standard. Any questions or small issues we had were answered and addressed straight away, removing any potential stress. Hugh made sure we were 100% happy with the job and we were really impressed with the level of communication, as well as his attention to detail. You hear some horror stories, so it was really reassuring to find a reliable service.
I believe the advice I was given initially was honest and turned out to be genuine. I did not seek alternative quotes but I feel it was probably competitive. I would recommend Doyle Homes Ltd if requested to do so.
Every job, from a single slipped tile to a full re-roof, comes with a 20 year guarantee in writing. You get it with your paperwork when the job is signed off, and if anything we did lets you down inside those 20 years, you ring the same number and we come back and put it right.

Yes. It is free with no obligation. We visit, survey the roof and the loft, show you what we find and give you a detailed quote if you want one.
The time depends on the size of the roof and the loft access, and larger or commercial roofs take longer. We arrange the visit at a time that suits you.
We check the tiles or slates, ridge, hips, valleys, verges, lead flashings, chimney stack, gutters, fascias, soffits and any flat roof, then, where there is loft access, the membrane, battens, rafters and ventilation. You get photographs and a plain list of what we find.
Yes. If the roof is sound, we tell you. If it needs a small repair, we quote the repair. We never push a new roof when a repair will do.
Yes. Our survey goes further than a homebuyer's report, because we get onto the roof. You see photographs and a plain list of faults and costs.
Yes. We survey domestic and commercial properties, including flat roofs, pitched roofs and the gutters and roofline.
Tell us what the roof is doing. Free, no obligation quote, a 20 year written guarantee on the work, and we will beat any written quote.
