Common questions in Millbank
Is Millbank within the area you cover?
Yes, Millbank is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do I find out if my home in Millbank is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Millbank?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
New roof snagging in Millbank: what you get
The best time for snagging is before the final payment, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, it’s worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. We’re often asked to look into cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and untidy or loose verge details, across loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and replacement roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Millbank may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it’s worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Roof by roof
Valleys
Debris left in a new valley can block it. We note anything left behind.
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. We record any we can see.
How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Millbank, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Check we can get to the back of the property
Booking a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
Advice
Why act early in Millbank
Phone photos from the garden cannot show much. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely using a drone where applicable. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Millbank, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why book with us
- Clear package prices, inc. VAT
- Over 20 years’ experience

Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
What we’re asked to look at in Millbank
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Poorly finished verges

Millbank homes and their roofs
Millbank is within about 3 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, so exposed details get a proper look whether you are buying or signing off new work. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Cross, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
