About roof surveys in TW2
We inspect whatever is safely visible: 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. You don’t need to do anything except give us access. Everything we see is photographed for the report. Typical surveys look at loose ridge or hip tiles and slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles, on lead flashings, ridges, hips and valleys and chimney stacks.
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.

Roof surveys across TW2: local notes
From Twickenham, Hounslow and Teddington to its smaller places, buildings across TW2 have roofs of every age. Chimneys, valleys, flashings and gutters are usually where the work is.
London and the South East 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 TW2.
Whitton: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Royal Military School of Music, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For businesses in and around places such as Treaty Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack. Leaning stacks and loose pots are recorded.
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead flashings seal chimneys, walls and abutments. Lifted, split or slipped lead is recorded.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
How we price roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Anything about access we should know

Why roofs fail
Slates and tiles frequently outlast the fixings that hold them. ‘Nail fatigue’ is common on slate roofs: the nails rust and the slates slide. On tiled roofs, battens and pegs can rot.
People typically book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
Practical tips
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see whether anything has changed, and whether work has done its job.
Every so often, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Take photos of anything that changes.
Your questions about roof surveys in TW2
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
How long does a roof survey take?
On site, it normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Will you climb onto the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft.
Do you work in TW2?
Yes. We survey roofs in TW2 and the rest of Greater London. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as a figure. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
