Our roof survey service in DA7
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers are common. We check them as well as the main pitched roof, including signs of standing water, splits and tired upstands. Flat roofs frequently need attention long before the main roof. A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. We survey chimney stacks, the roof space and natural slate, and common reasons people get in touch are worn lead at chimneys and abutments and loose chimney pots.
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters across DA7
From Erith, Northumberland Heath and Lessness Heath to its smaller places, buildings across DA7 have roofs of every age. Chimneys, valleys, flashings and gutters are usually where the work is.
Our surveys reach from London out to Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Essex, the Thames Valley, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, DA7 included. We survey on any day of the week.
Bexleyheath: If you let a flat or house near Bexleyheath station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Take an older house close to Trinity Baptist Church: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
Felt flat roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, EPDM rubber around 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded, and for spalling where the surface has flaked.
Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Leave roof access to professionals
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.
What affects the price in DA7
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How big the roof is
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- What’s prompted the survey
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Why get it checked now?
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, which makes later changes easy to spot.
What to check before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Common questions in DA7
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we can. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we’ll say so. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it’s wearing, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
How do I arrange a roof survey in DA7?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
