What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. For a visit in Bandonhill, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at everything that’s safely in view from ground level, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- 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.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.

Roof survey in Bandonhill
We survey roofs in Bandonhill and across London and South East England. Visits run on any day of the week. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Whether it’s a house, a flat or a commercial building, the process is the same. When you’re ready to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Common reasons to book are standing water on a flat roof and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone, on the roof space, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles.
A London butterfly roof slopes down to a central valley gutter that drains to the back of the house. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. If your home in Bandonhill has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Prices for roof surveys in Bandonhill
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Height and safe access
- The roof’s overall size
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof

What happens if roof problems are left?
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. An overflow there sends water indoors. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Mention any damp patches when you book
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
File the report with your other home documents. It is a useful baseline for future surveys, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Bandonhill
Landlords and agents in Bandonhill book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
What a roof survey looks like in Bandonhill
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Bandonhill is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you own a rental within reach of Waddon station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Historic houses such as Addington Palace, about 4 miles east, show how far back building around Bandonhill goes. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. Take a building like High View Primary School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Bandonhill: your questions answered
Is drone flying allowed in Bandonhill?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. London’s airspace includes flight restriction zones around Heathrow, London City Airport and London Heliport, and restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Each address is checked against all of them before the drone goes up. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Is my home in Bandonhill listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We do not give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Bandonhill?
Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
