Practical tips
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Ask about consent before removing a chimney on an older property
- Make sure fixings on the stack are secure
- Keep the report to compare against at the next survey
- Keep track of stains on chimney breasts
Questions about the findings are always welcome. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one.
Check your stacks from the street or garden after a storm. Binoculars help you spot loose pots, missing mortar or lifted flashings.
Chimney survey in Stonebridge Park: what you get
Redundant chimneys are common, particularly where fires have been replaced by central heating. A disused stack still needs looking after. Capping a stack without ventilation can trap moisture and lead to damp inside. We check how redundant stacks have been capped and look for damp in the chimney breasts. You get photos of each stack and our recommendations. We survey chimney pots and cowls, shared and party-wall stacks and brick chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are disused chimneys trapping moisture and damaged chimney pots and cowls.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, so roofs are frequently shared between several households. Whoever looks after the building needs a clear picture of the roof, chimneys and gutters. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. A report gives everyone the same picture to plan from, with photos.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A damp chimney breast seldom dries out until the cause is found. It can stain walls and damage plaster. Finding the cause means the right work can be planned. In Stonebridge Park, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.

Local roofs in Stonebridge Park
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With Pitzhanger Manor about 2.8 miles south-west, Stonebridge Park sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Our Lady of Lourdes RC Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Trees in and around St. Raphael's Edible Garden shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Michael the Archangel, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes an hour or two for most homes, a little longer where there are several stacks. From the street, a London terrace normally shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Stonebridge Park we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- You tell us whether any stacks are shared, unused or leaning.
- We check the roof around each stack, including the flashings.
- We look at the flaunching and pots on every stack.
- We note the brickwork, pointing and any sign of leaning.
- The report explains the condition and which work is most urgent.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.

FAQs for Stonebridge Park
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Stonebridge Park?
Sometimes, yes. If Stonebridge Park has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer, and a driveway is even better.
Is my home in Stonebridge Park listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Do you cover Stonebridge Park?
Yes, we do. We carry out chimney surveys in Stonebridge Park.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Stonebridge Park
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Roof by roof
Chimney pots and cowls
Each pot is bedded into the flaunching, often with a cowl or cap on top. We check that they look secure and undamaged.
Brick stacks
Older brick stacks often have soft lime mortar. Repairs should suit the original materials, which we mention where relevant.
What affects the cost of chimney surveys
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What to tell us when you contact us
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The address and postcode of the property
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
