Our roof survey service in TW16
We survey roofs in TW16 and across London and the South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. When you are ready to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We survey chimney stacks, the roof space and clay and concrete tiles, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and worn or blocked valleys.
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- 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.

Local landmarks in Sunbury-on-Thames
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to St Paul's Catholic College, The Three Fishes Public House and Sunbury Park and the streets around them. You will also find St Saviour (0.5 miles north), Sunbury Manor School (under half a mile west) and St Ignatius RC Primary School (within half a mile north-west). There’s a railway station in Sunbury-on-Thames itself: Sunbury station. Well-known places in the area include Kempton Steam Museum (1 mile north-east) and No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital (2 miles south). For a walk, there is St Ann's Hill and Kempton Park Reservoirs.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters across TW16
Older homes across TW16 often keep chimney stacks long after the fires went out, and their flashings and pointing need checking like any other part of the roof. Valleys, gutters and fixings follow close behind.
London and South East England mix slate and clay tile roofs on older homes with concrete tiles on many later ones, and flat-roofed extensions and dormers are common everywhere. That variety shapes every survey in TW16.
Sunbury-on-Thames: If you let a flat or house near Sunbury station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Hampton Court Palace, about 3.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Sunbury-on-Thames. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.
When you need someone else
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Check we can open the loft hatch
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It helps you see whether anything has changed.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Take photos of anything that changes.

Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Handmade and machine-made clay tiles are long-lasting. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded.
Chimney stacks
We look at the stack itself, and it is not a flue or gas safety check. We will tell you if the flue needs a specialist.
Leave it or get it looked at?
If you’re planning to sell, a roof survey can help you prepare. You will know what a buyer’s survey might pick up.

Questions from TW16
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
What does a roof survey include?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
When will the report arrive?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photographs.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
How much does a roof survey cost in TW16?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
