Honest advice
How to Tell You Need Roof Inspections
A survey is worth booking when you are buying, when a roof is over 20 years old, or when you want a leak diagnosed properly rather than guessed at.
You are buying a Stratford property and the roof age is unknown
A recurring leak that previous patch repairs have not fixed
A roof visibly ageing but not obviously failing yet
A lender or surveyor has flagged the roof for a specialist report
When it is not the answer: If you already know the roof needs a specific repair, you can skip the survey and go straight to a repair quote — we will tell you when an inspection would just be an extra cost. Read the full guide.
We provide roof inspections across Alcester and the surrounding B49 area as part of our core Warwickshire service territory. Tudor and jacobean timber-framed buildings on malt mill lane and high street, victorian red brick on birmingham road, 1970s–80s concrete tile estates on western fringe. Each property type requires a specific approach and we bring the appropriate materials and expertise for the job in hand.
Alcester's mix of conservation town centre properties and rural B49 farmhouses means inspection requirements vary significantly by property type. This affects the frequency and nature of roof inspections work in this specific location compared to other towns in our catchment.

Why Alcester Specifically
What Makes Alcester Unique for Roof Inspections
Local Climate & Exposure
Alcester's mix of conservation town centre properties and rural B49 farmhouses means inspection requirements vary significantly by property type. This directly affects the frequency and type of roof inspections calls we receive from this area.
Housing Stock Profile
Pre-purchase surveys for rural conversions and farmhouses in the B49 area are particularly valuable — complex roof structures are easy to misread without professional assessment. Each property type requires a specific approach and material specification.
The Specific Challenge
Barn conversion and agricultural property inspections require different methodology from standard residential surveys — we use drone inspection where access is limited.
Our Specification for Alcester
Our Alcester inspection reports cover both standard residential and complex rural property types — suitable for rural mortgage applications and agricultural property purchases.
We arrange a visual, drone or full condition survey to suit the property and your purpose.
2. On-site inspection
We assess covering, fixings, flashings, timbers and loft, tailored to the property's stock era.
3. Written report
You receive a photographed report with condition, priorities and indicative costs.
4. Fee credited
If you book repair work with us, the survey fee is credited against it.
5. Follow-up
We talk you through the findings and what is urgent versus what can wait.

Access
Access, Scaffolding & Permits in Alcester
Most surveys are done from ground level, a drone or a ladder to the eaves; no scaffold is needed for an inspection. Scaffold is specified for: rarely — only if close hands-on access to a specific defect is required - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Alcester's Roman-founded core is dense with timber-framed and Georgian frontages — Malt Mill Lane is a conservation showpiece — needing permit-controlled access, while Kinwarton and the Oversley estates are open and modern. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Stratford-on-Avon District Council; allow a few working days on streets like Malt Mill Lane, Butter Street, Henley Street where space is tight.
Guarantee
What the 10-Year Guarantee Actually Covers
The report itself is the deliverable; any remedial work we then carry out is covered by our standard 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Covered: workmanship for 10 years, in writing, transferable if you sell.
On top: manufacturer warranties on materials (terms vary by product).
Not covered: storm or impact damage - that is an insurance matter, and we will document it for your claim.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
Good to know
Disruption, Mess & Weather
An inspection is non-intrusive — a couple of hours with no mess, and you are welcome to follow the findings on the day. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Surveys run year-round; drone work waits for calm, dry weather for safe, clear imagery. Sitting where the Arrow meets the Alne, Alcester's low centre holds damp; clay peg tile dominates the older roofs and moss favours the shaded riverside slopes.
