Roof surveys across TW10: what to expect
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, others want a check before selling or after years without one. The approach is the same in each case: a careful look, then a clear written report. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. Common reasons to book are loose chimney pots and leaking gutter joints and downpipes, across ridges, hips and valleys, lead flashings and natural slate.
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.

Roof surveys across TW10: local notes
Owners across TW10, from Richmond, Kingston upon Thames and Richmond upon Thames to the villages, book us to find out where their roof stands. A report helps you sort small faults before they let water in.
Autumn and winter storms across the South East find any loose slate, tile or ridge. In TW10, as elsewhere, exposed details are where damage shows first.
Ham: If you own a rental within reach of Teddington station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you run a business near Bentall Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
Useful tips for TW10 property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Leave roof access to professionals
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It helps you see whether anything has changed.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
Why roofs fail
The underlay under the coverings matters too. Breathable membranes only appeared 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. Felt that has torn or perished stops doing its job.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber often lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.
Natural slate
Many Victorian and Edwardian houses have slate roofs. Where several slates have slipped, the cause is often nail fatigue, and we say how widespread it looks.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What happens if roof problems are left?
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.
Before you book any surveyor

FAQs for TW10
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when booking.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. We flag materials that could contain it, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What does a roof survey include?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
