Led by Jon Cobbold, we provide a personal, high-quality alternative to corporate surveying. Known for our specialist roof surveys and rapid 24-hour report turnarounds, we help homeowners and buyers across the Midlands and Home Counties move forward with confidence and clarity.

About Silverline Surveyors

Buying a home is likely the largest investment you will ever make, yet most people only spend 15 minutes inside a property before deciding to buy. At Silverline Surveyors, we believe you deserve more than a 15-minute snapshot. We are a fully independent firm dedicated to giving you the full picture through thorough inspections and clear, jargon-free advice.

A Personal Approach Led by Jon Cobbold

Our Director, Jon Cobbold, founded Silverline with a simple mission: to move away from the "volume-over-quality" model of large firms. We take a different approach by allocating sufficient time to every inspection. When we visit a property, we often spend several hours on-site to ensure every defect is captured.

Our clients value us because we are responsive and approachable. Whether it is talking through a report on a Sunday or delivering a valuation within hours of a visit, we work around your schedule, not the other way around.

Specialist Roof Surveys & Consultancy

One of our core specialisms is professional roofing consultancy. As roofs are often the most exposed and expensive elements of a building, a standard survey might not always go far enough. We provide focused, independent assessments of roof condition, defects, and performance.

  • Pre-purchase Roof Inspections: Detailed clarity on coverings, flashings, chimneys, and structures.
  • Specific Defect Surveys: Targeted investigations into leaks, damp, or poor workmanship.
  • Maintenance Planning: Helping landlords and homeowners budget for long-term repairs.
