Roof surveys in SO20

Roof survey in SO20: how it works

Across London and South East England, roofs differ widely. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. Typical surveys look at worn or blocked valleys and loose chimney pots, on the roof space, lead flashings and natural slate.

Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time.

1. You pick the package that suits your roof.
2. On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
3. We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
4. Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
5. You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.

Tips that help

There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:

• Mention any damp patches when booking
• Gather any paperwork for past roof work
• Move stored items away from the loft hatch
• Hold on to the report for future surveys

Keep the report with your property records. It gives you something to compare against later, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.

Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Take photos of anything that changes.

What a survey costs

When we price a survey, we consider:

• Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
• If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
• Basic, Standard or Premium
• How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see

To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.

Getting in touch

A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:

• Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
• Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
• Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
• Any deadline, such as an exchange date

To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price before you book.
