About our roof survey in Bedfont
Roofs vary a lot across London and South East England. 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. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Every part gets the attention it needs. We survey the roof space, natural slate and ridges, hips and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are standing water on a flat roof and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, so roofs are often shared between several households. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it is in and what work is coming up, in Bedfont as anywhere. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. With a written report and photographs, everyone can plan from the same facts.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Your questions about roof surveys in Bedfont
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Bedfont?
Sometimes, yes. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well.
Is Bedfont in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes Bedfont.
How long does a roof survey take?
The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. We will confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
What does a roof survey include?
All the main parts of the roof: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
What happens if roof problems are left?
If you’re planning to sell, a roof survey can help you prepare. You will know what a buyer’s survey might pick up. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork, which can lead to damp inside. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Local roofs in Bedfont
Bedfont is inside, or right on the edge of, the flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport. If your survey includes the drone, permission from the airport is needed first, and the flight only goes ahead if it is given. With Strawberry Hill House about 4.6 miles east, Bedfont sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Surveys in Bedfont can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

What we are asked to look at in Bedfont
What’s under the slates or tiles is as important as the coverings themselves. Breathable roofing membranes came into use in the UK in the late 1990s, so older roofs often have bitumen felt, and very old ones may have none. Felt that has torn or perished stops doing its job.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
For a London address like Bedfont, it is useful to know about controlled parking before the day.
What to check before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- When you’ll get the report
- What the survey won’t cover
What a roof survey doesn’t cover
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers

What affects the price in Bedfont
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey

One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
