About our roof survey in Broad Green
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and where it’s relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. If you’re worried about cracked mortar along the ridge and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Much of London’s housing is flats, in converted houses or purpose-built blocks, where the roof is normally a shared part of the building. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it’s in and what work is coming up, in Broad Green as anywhere. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. With a written report and photographs, everyone can plan from the same facts.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Broad Green
It is easier to plan roof work than to react to it. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and our case studies.
What affects the cost of roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Which survey package you book
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How big the roof is
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
What we need to know
We will usually ask about:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What’s prompted the survey
- The property’s address and postcode
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
We confirm the exact price before you book, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Local roofs in Broad Green
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, frequently with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Broad Green is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Saviour, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For landlords with property near West Croydon station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Homes near green spaces such as Waddon Ponds can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

How the survey changes by roof type
Concrete interlocking tiles
Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They’re heavy and hard-wearing, but their surfaces weather over the years, and they can crack.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Handmade and machine-made clay tiles are long-lasting. We check for cracked, slipped and missing tiles.
How the survey works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In Broad Green, as in much of London, lots of properties are flats or terraces without side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, tell us as you book.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Questions from Broad Green
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Broad Green?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near West Croydon station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes between one and two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
How quickly will I get the report?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
- Let us know about past leaks
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation. You can ask us about anything that is not clear.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
