Free roof survey in Brighton, with drone photos where it helps

A free roof survey in Brighton and Hove, with drone photos on tall or awkward roofs, so you see what we see. Ring 01273 110448 or send the form to book one.

Most people call a roofer after something goes wrong. A survey before that point, when you are buying a house, planning a loft conversion or noticing the first slipped tile, saves money, because small faults stay small.

Michael checks the roof from outside and from the loft: tiles or slates, ridges and verges, valleys and lead, the chimney, any flat roof sections, gutters and fascias, the felt and the timbers. On three-storey terraces and roofs that cannot be seen from the ground, we fly a drone and show you the photos on the spot.

The survey is free with no obligation, and you get a straight answer: what needs doing now, what can wait, and what is fine.

When you call, you speak to MichaelPrime West is owner-run. Michael answers the phone, surveys the roof, quotes the job and runs it with his team.

Roof surveys: your questions answered

Is the survey really free?

Yes. No charge for the visit and no obligation to go ahead with any work.

Do you use a drone?

Yes, on tall terraces and roofs that cannot be seen safely from the ground. You see the photos on the day.

Will you go in the loft?

Yes, if there is safe access. The loft shows the felt and the timbers better than the outside does.

Can you survey a house I am buying?

Yes. Many buyers ask us to look after their surveyor flags the roof, so they know the cost before they exchange.
