How the survey works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older rural homes like those around Batt's Corner can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to book
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, tell us about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Roof survey in Batt's Corner
Across London and the South East, roofs differ widely. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. 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 survey chimney stacks, lead flashings and ridges, hips and valleys, and people most often book us about flashings that have come away from the wall and loose chimney pots.
Some older homes in villages like Batt's Corner are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Batt's Corner questions
Will you come out to Batt's Corner?
Yes, Batt's Corner is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Batt's Corner?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are checked from your side.
How do I book a survey in Batt's Corner?
To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Only when it is safe. We also use views from ground level, windows and the roof space.
How quickly will I get the report?
It depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. We send it by email.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
When you need someone else
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- A structural engineer’s report
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future

Useful tips for Batt's Corner property owners
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Let us know about past leaks
- File the report with your home documents
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. They’ll see each defect and its location, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Compare each report with the last.
