About roof surveys in W13
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and where it’s relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. Common reasons to book are flashings that have come away from the wall and valley linings that have cracked or split, across ridges, hips and valleys, chimney stacks and natural slate.
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes between one and two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters across W13
From Ealing, Northfields and South Ealing to smaller places, people across W13 use a roof survey to plan ahead. A report helps you sort small faults before they let water in.
Our area takes in slate-roofed London terraces, clay-tiled Weald houses, Essex weatherboarding and post-war new towns. Roofs in W13 are part of that picture.
Ealing: If you let a flat or house near Ealing Broadway station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Take an older house close to St Saviour's Church: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
What this survey cannot tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- The condition of the rest of the building (that’s a RICS home survey)
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Why get it checked now?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, so you can compare it next time.
What to check before booking
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How soon the report will arrive
Landlord and commercial surveys in W13
Landlords, agents and building managers in W13 and across Greater London can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Mention any damp patches when you book
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
File the report with your other home documents. It gives you something to compare against later, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Every so frequently, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Photograph anything new.
Questions from W13
How do I book a survey in W13?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
When will the report arrive?
That depends on which survey you choose: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. It’s emailed to you.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
What does a roof survey include?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It does not include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
