How a roof survey works in SM6
There are three levels of survey: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are leaking gutter joints and downpipes and condensation or damp timbers in the loft.
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- 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.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.

Near you in Wallington

Roofs, chimneys and gutters across SM6
From Carshalton, The Wrythe and Wallington to its smaller places, buildings across SM6 have roofs of every age. The usual weak points are fixings, flashings, chimneys and gutters.
From inner London terraces to Kent oast houses, Sussex tile-hanging and Hampshire thatch, the South East has a huge mix of roofs. Roofs in SM6 are part of that picture.
Wallington: Nonsuch Mansion, about 3.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wallington. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. Homes near green spaces such as Carshalton Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
What affects the price in SM6
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The size of the roof
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone

How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack, as far as we can safely see them. We note any lean or loose pots.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. We check for cracked, slipped and missing tiles, and for spalling where the surface has flaked.
Leave it or get it looked at?
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.
Before you book any surveyor
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Is VAT included in the price?
Common roof problems in SM6
The underlay under the coverings matters too. Breathable roofing membranes came into use in the UK in the late 1990s, so many older roofs have bitumen felt underlay, and some very old roofs have no underlay at all. Torn or sagging felt lets water through.
People usually book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
