Teddington homes and their roofs
Strawberry Hill House, about 0.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Teddington. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Teddington is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
Landlords with a home close to Teddington station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. For a London address like Teddington, it helps to know about controlled parking before the day.

New roof snagging in Teddington
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the roof space for signs of condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it’s worth raising early. It all goes in the report. We survey new flat roofs, replacement roofs and ridges and verges, and people most often book us about loose or badly finished ridge tiles and gutters or fascias damaged during the job.
In London, plenty of houses have been split into flats, extended or fitted with a dormer loft conversion. Every alteration brings new junctions, flashings and flat-roof areas to look at. For a purchase in Teddington, or for new roofing work there, those junctions deserve a proper look. Lead work around dormers and new flat roofs is easy to get wrong and easy to miss.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In Teddington, as in much of London, lots of properties are flats or terraces without side access, so the back of the roof is frequently seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, tell us as you book.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
How to prepare
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Booking a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Which survey package you book
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- What’s prompted the survey
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
When to book a survey in Teddington
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Offcuts and broken pieces often end up in the gutters or damage lower roofs.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
The streets around a church such as Christ Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Their report turnaround times
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price

Teddington: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Teddington?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway as you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Teddington?
Yes, Teddington is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
How do I book a survey in Teddington?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We don’t open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Do you look in the roof space?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
