Your building is far away.
We start remotely.
Flat roofs, pitched roofs, cave houses and timber maintenance on the islands and in holiday homes. From your photos we tell you whether a visit is needed. If it is, the visit is paid and ends in a written report.
What we take on outside Athens
A defined scope, a crew from Athens.
Insulated waterproofing of flat roofs. Waterproofing of cave houses. Roof repair and reconstruction. Maintenance of timber structures: pergolas, exposed timber, decks. For holiday-home owners, hotels, and engineers or architects who hold the project mandate.
Our crew comes from Athens with its own materials, on days set out in the written proposal.
First step: photos and three answers
Before anyone travels, we look at what is there.
Tell us where the building is (island and area), what concerns you (flat roof, roof, cave house, timber structure) and roughly how many m², and when you would like the work done.
From that we tell you whether the project is one we take on and whether a visit is needed. If no visit is needed, we tell you so, and if the project is one for us, what comes next. The calculator on the Prices page gives an indicative range for your island (choose the island; the island terms apply). We do not give a final price without a visit or a report: from photos alone, a final price would be a guess.
What to send, and how
Large photos by link, not as attachments.
- One wide shot of the building, and one from above if possible.
- Close-ups of each point of concern, with an object of known size next to it.
- The interior below that point, if there is damp or staining.
- A floor plan or drawings if you have them, and any past repairs with their year.
By email: upload the photos to WeTransfer or Google Drive and paste the link into the email, so they arrive at full resolution and stay with your enquiry.
By WhatsApp: for a quick message or a few photos. Anything needed for the report we will ask for again by email, so nothing gets lost.
Please avoid people and personal documents in the photos.
A site visit outside Athens
Paid, with a written amount before it is booked.
The roof survey is €434 including 24% VAT (€350 plus VAT) for the standard report, without openings, or €744 including 24% VAT (€600 plus VAT) for the full report, with the openings, drone imaging where a flight is lawful, safe and feasible, and the walk-through. Outside Attica, travel costs at cost (ferry or flight or fuel and tolls, accommodation and meals, with receipts) are added, plus €806 including 24% VAT (€650 plus VAT) for each day away beyond the day of the survey. For example, a full report on an island villa that needs two days: €744 + €806 = €1,550 including 24% VAT (€1,250 plus VAT), and the travel costs (more examples). We send you the total, with the VAT that applies, in writing before the visit is booked. Agreed travel expenses are prepaid separately; the report and additional-day fees are paid 50% when the date is confirmed and 50% when the report is delivered, by bank transfer, and the report is released on full payment. Before booking, you receive the total price, scope and delivery date in writing, together with cancellation, rescheduling and any applicable statutory withdrawal terms.
If you commission work on the same building within six months of the report's delivery, we deduct 10% of its value, up to the whole report fee: the whole €744 from €7,440 of work upwards, the whole €434 from €4,340 upwards. On smaller work, 10% of its value is deducted: €99.20 on €992 of work. Amounts include 24% VAT (excluding VAT: €600 from €6,000, €350 from €3,500, €80 on €800). Additional days and travel expenses are not deducted.
The report covers the points inspected with visible and safe access, and points not inspected are listed separately. It is not a certification, a structural or legal review, or a property valuation.
Questions
Why is the visit not free?
Outside Athens a visit takes at least a day and involves fares. The report is yours to keep, even if you give the work to someone else.
Can you price it from photos?
An indicative range, yes: the calculator on the Prices page gives it for your island, including VAT and with the island terms. A final price, no: waterproofing depends on the substrate, falls and drainage, which photos do not show, and it is written after a visit or a report.
I am not on the island. Do I need to be there?
No. Access to the building is enough, for example through a property manager or a neighbour. For openings, access alone is not sufficient: they require written consent from the person authorised to approve the intervention and, for a jointly owned roof, the necessary approvals.
When does island work take place?
We group visits by island and season. Dates are confirmed after assessing requests and availability, and an enquiry does not reserve a slot.
