Roof surveys in W1F

Our roof survey service in W1F

Across London and South East England, roofs differ widely. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. We’re often asked to look into loose ridge or hip tiles and worn lead at chimneys and abutments, across the roof space, clay and concrete tiles and natural slate.

Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take an hour or two at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours.

1. We start with the property details and any concerns.
2. We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
3. We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
4. We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
5. We email a written report with photos and recommendations.

What affects the price in W1F

The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

Practical tips

You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:

• Photograph stains when they appear
• Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
• Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
• Let us know about past leaks

The Premium Survey includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows how the roof has fared over the year.

Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Use a gutter contractor rather than climbing a ladder yourself. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
