Roof survey in TW19: how it works

We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it’s safe. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where it applies, which helps with tall or steep roofs. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. We survey chimney stacks, ridges, hips and valleys and the roof space, and people most often book us about cracked mortar along the ridge and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone.

The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It usually takes an hour or two for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer.

  1. You pick the package that suits your roof.
  2. We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
  3. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
  4. Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
  5. The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.

Homes and roofs across TW19

TW19 has everything from older homes with tall chimneys to modern estates. Sooner or later, every roof needs its gutters, flashings and coverings checked.

We survey roofs across London and South East England, and TW19 is part of that. London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates.

Stanwell: If you let a flat or house near Ashford Surrey station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Stanwell Fields CofE Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

When you need someone else

We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:

  • Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
  • What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
  • An exact number of years the roof has left

Useful tips for TW19 property owners

Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:

  • Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
  • Let us know about past leaks
  • Take photos of any leaks as they happen
  • Look for debris in the garden after high winds

Keep the report with your property records. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and it can help when you sell.

Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Photograph anything new.

For landlords and managing agents

Landlords and agents in TW19 book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.

Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.

Signs you need a roof survey

A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Leaves, moss and silt build up, the gutter overflows and water soaks the walls. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors.

A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:

  • Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
  • Flashings that have come away from the wall
  • Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
  • Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken

Prices for roof surveys in TW19

We confirm the price for your survey before you book. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
  • Height and safe access
  • Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
  • Commercial roofs and larger buildings

Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

What we need to know

To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:

  • When you need the report by
  • The property’s address and postcode
  • Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
  • Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window

Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Questions from TW19

Can you inspect my roof with a drone?

Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.

What does a roof survey cost?

Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included.

Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?

Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.

Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?

No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.

Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?

Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.

Are you insured?

Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.

Do you cover TW19?
