Roof surveys across SW1P: what to expect
There are three levels of survey: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photos and written recommendations. Standard and Premium go further, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Every package includes a written report. We survey chimney stacks, clay and concrete tiles and ridges, hips and valleys, and the problems we are asked to look at most are valley linings that have cracked or split and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken.
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building.
- You tell us about the property and any concerns.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it is safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.

Roof surveys across SW1P: local notes
From Kennington, Victoria and Little Portugal to smaller places, people across SW1P use a roof survey to plan ahead. Small faults, caught early, are far easier to deal with.
The South East’s airspace includes flight restriction zones around several of its airports, so every drone flight in SW1P is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Where permission is needed, the flight waits for it.
Westminster: Shop and office owners around Kingly Court may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. If you own a rental within reach of London Victoria station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
What this survey can’t tell you
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- A structural engineer’s report
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Let us know about past leaks
File the report with your other home documents. It’s a useful baseline for future surveys, and it can help when you sell.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
What affects the cost of roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The size of the roof
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you get in touch:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Anything about access we should know
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before booking.
Why get it checked now?
Leaks rarely show up right away. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. From inside the roof space, we can often spot it sooner.
What to check before booking
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What exactly goes into their report

Questions from SW1P
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It isn’t a structural engineer’s report and does not include calculations.
How quickly will I get the report?
That depends on which survey you choose: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. We send it by email.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
How much does a roof survey cost in SW1P?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
