How a pre-purchase roof survey works in Spring Park
The best time to book is once your offer has been accepted and before you exchange contracts. At that point you can still ask questions, because nothing is binding yet. We survey seven days a week, which helps when the chain is moving fast. The report comes within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. If you’re worried about standing water on a flat extension roof and worn or lifted lead flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a London terrace or conversion, the roof often joins the neighbours’ roofs and shares their stacks and gutters. For a purchase or a new roof in Spring Park, that shapes what can be checked: we inspect what we are given access to and can see safely, which may not include a neighbour’s side. If it’s a flat, the lease usually sets out who is responsible for the roof.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical house, with time for the loft where it can be reached. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so a visit in Spring Park moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- You choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey to suit the home you’re buying.
- We agree a visit, including weekends if that helps.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Standard and Premium surveys add the extra checks they include.
- We send the report with recommendations ranked by urgency, ready for you to discuss with the seller or agent.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Questions from Spring Park
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Spring Park?
Normally it’s manageable with a little notice. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we’ll work around them.
Is my home in Spring Park listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is a roof survey worth having alongside a home survey?
It depends on the roof and how confident you want to be. Home surveys sometimes suggest a closer look at the roof, and that’s where a roof survey helps. It doesn’t stand in for a RICS survey.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
How do I book a survey in Spring Park?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Will you climb onto the roof?
When conditions and the roof make it safe, yes. We also inspect from ground level, upper windows and the loft space, and a drone is part of the Premium Survey where applicable.
Local roofs and buyers in Spring Park
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Spring Park is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
Addington Palace, about 1.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Spring Park. When you buy an older home, the roof’s age, past repairs and any listing all affect what you might spend later. Spring Park is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway as you book.

Do you need a pre-purchase roof survey in Spring Park?
A chimney stack stands out in the wind and rain and they’re often the least maintained part of a roof. Mortar erodes, the flaunching around the pots cracks and the flashings work loose. On terraced and semi-detached homes, a stack may be shared with next door, which matters if work is needed.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Damp timbers or stains in the loft
- Gutters that overflow or drip at the joints
- A ridge or slope that dips
- Cracked flaunching or crumbling chimney pointing
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
A leaning stack, cracked flaunching or crumbling pointing can all need work. We note them with photos so you can ask about them.
Clay and concrete tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They’re heavy and hard-wearing, but they weather and can crack.
What we cannot see
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- A valuation or a promise of a lower price
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- Anything beyond the roof, which a full home survey covers
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
