Roof survey in BR7: how it works
Our roof surveys cover BR7 and the wider South East. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. When you’re ready to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We are often asked to look into valley linings that have cracked or split and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, on lead flashings, clay and concrete tiles and ridges, hips and valleys.
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. Most visits take about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.

Chislehurst: Take an older house close to Parish Church The Annunciation Of Blessed Virgin Mary: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Homes near green spaces such as Chislehurst Common can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.

Useful tips for BR7 property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Mention any damp patches when booking
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Keep the report with your property records
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
We email the report to you. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Findings are explained in plain words, with recommendations.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
Why get it checked now?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. A survey sets a baseline, so you can compare it next time.
Before booking any surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- Their report turnaround times
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Which limits apply to the survey
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- A full building survey of the property
- A structural engineer’s report
- An exact number of years the roof has left
FAQs for BR7
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the roof space where there is safe access. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Do you work in BR7?
Yes. BR7 is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes an hour or two at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.

The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
