Roof survey in WC2H: how it works
There’s no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, so it’s easy to find a day that suits. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, the roof space and lead flashings, and people most frequently book us about standing water on a flat roof and flashings that have come away from the wall.
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.

Roof surveys across WC2H: local notes
In WC2H, our roof surveys work takes in owners, landlords and managing agents, from Aldwych, Adelphi and Temple to the quieter places in between. Every report comes with photographs and written recommendations.
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 WC2H.
Clare Market: Historic houses such as Dr Johnson's House, about 0.4 miles east, show how far back building around Clare Market goes. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Gabriel's Wharf, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Mention any damp patches when booking
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. The photos show what we found and where, which makes quotes easier to compare.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
What a survey doesn’t cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- An exact number of years the roof has left
Why get it checked now?
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from ground level. You might pay for work that doesn’t fix the real problem, or to a real problem being missed. We tell you what’s really needed.
What to check before booking
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Are they insured for the work?
- What exactly goes into their report
What affects the cost of roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Roof area
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
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
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
We confirm the exact price before you book, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Questions from WC2H
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the loft space where there is safe access. The report includes photos and recommendations.
How long does the visit take?
It normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
