What a survey costs
We confirm the price for your roof before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it’s useful to mention:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Where the property is, with the postcode
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How new roof snagging works in Norwood Green
The best time for snagging is before the final payment while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. You get a written list of snags with photographs, ready to pass on before the deadline. Common reasons to book are underlay at the eaves left exposed and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, on flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and loft conversions and dormers.
In London, a good many houses have been split into flats, extended or fitted with a dormer loft conversion. Each change adds roof details, such as flat roofs, new flashings and junctions with the original slopes. For a purchase in Norwood Green, or for new roofing work there, those junctions deserve a close look. Lead work around dormers and new flat roofs is easy to get wrong and easy to miss.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Norwood Green: your questions answered
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Norwood Green?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when booking.
Is Norwood Green in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Norwood Green is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.

What else we do in Norwood Green
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Norwood Green homes and their roofs
With Osterley House about 0.6 miles south-east, Norwood Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Norwood Green, along with any off-street space. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Why it is worth a survey now in Norwood Green
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Spotting them early gives the roofer a chance to put them right. In Norwood Green, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: failed flashings and blocked valley gutters can send water into more than one home. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we can help you choose.
Why us?
- Surveys seven days a week

When to book a survey in Norwood Green
Owners frequently get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before the job is closed.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Loose flashings at walls or chimneys
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
If you let a flat or house near Southall station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
What to check before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Are they insured for the work?
- What the survey won’t cover
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a visit in Norwood Green, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. We then look at what can safely be seen from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
