Our roof survey service in NW9
We inspect what can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where conditions allow. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where applicable, for roofs that are hard to see well. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. We survey clay and concrete tiles, flat roofs and chimney stacks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are water stains on rafters and ceiling joists and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching.
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters across NW9
Homes across NW9 range from older properties with chimneys and lead flashings to newer houses with concrete tiles. Sooner or later, every roof needs its gutters, flashings and coverings checked.
Our surveys reach from London out to Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Essex, the Thames Valley, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, and NW9 is well within that. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends.
Colindale: With Heath Hall about 3.5 miles east, the area around Colindale has a long history. If your home is one of the older ones, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up. If you let a flat or house near Hendon station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Surveys for landlords and agents in NW9
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted, particularly at the verges and ridge.
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. They get particular attention in every survey.
What this survey can’t tell you
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- A structural engineer’s report
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
Why get it checked now?
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. When they do, water comes straight into the house. A survey checks them while they’re still dry.
What to check before booking
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Their track record with similar roofs
- When you’ll get the report
Common roof problems in NW9
Blocked gutters cause a surprising amount of damage. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors, particularly near trees.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Torn or sagging underlay
NW9 questions
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
