About roof surveys in NW1W
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, while others just want to know where they stand. The approach is the same in each case: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, so it is easy to find a day that suits. We’re frequently asked to look into loose chimney pots and valley linings that have cracked or split, across flat roofs, clay and concrete tiles and ridges, hips and valleys.
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters across NW1W
NW1W has everything from older homes with tall chimneys to modern estates. Sooner or later, every roof needs its gutters, flashings and coverings checked, wherever they are in NW1W.
Even in the South East, autumn and winter storms find any loose slate, tile or ridge. Ridges, verges and flashings in NW1W are where it typically shows.
St Pancras: Take an older house close to Lumen United Reformed Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you own a rental within reach of London Kings Cross station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Why act early?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, which makes later changes easy to spot.
What to check before booking
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What happens after the report arrives
- When you will get the report
What this survey cannot tell you
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- Keep the report with your property records
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Photograph anything new.
Common roof problems in NW1W
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack. Missing lead isn’t unusual either, as thieves target it.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Prices for roof surveys in NW1W
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Which survey package you book
- House, block, shop or office
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Roof area
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The property’s address and postcode
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
