Roof surveys across CR4: what to expect
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. Typical surveys look at water stains on rafters and ceiling joists and debris building up in roof valleys, on chimney stacks, natural slate and lead flashings.
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there’s safe access.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
How our prices work
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

Roof surveys across CR4: local notes
Homes across CR4 range from older properties with chimneys and lead flashings to newer houses with concrete tiles. Blocked gutters, slipped slates and tired flashings turn up on all of them sooner or later.
Our area covers London and South East England, including CR4. Housing here runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates.
Eastfields: If you let a flat or house near Mitcham Eastfields station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For businesses in and around places like Centrale Croydon, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
Landlords, agents and block managers in CR4
Landlords and letting agents in CR4 book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Checking the roof from the ground
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
Why act early?
A small roof defect normally gets bigger. One slipped slate lets water reach the battens and underlay, and damp timber slowly weakens. Catching it early means less to put right.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What they won’t be able to tell you
What this survey can’t tell you
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Height and safe access
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
A few details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- What’s prompted the survey
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Questions from CR4
Do you work in CR4?
Yes. We survey roofs in CR4 and the rest of Greater London. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only when it is safe. We also use views from the ground, windows and the roof space.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
When will the report arrive?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photos.
How do I book a survey in CR4?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It does not include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
