Roof survey in Brunswick Park, Greater London
Roof surveys in Brunswick Park from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. For a visit in Brunswick Park, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- 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.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
How to book
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
How a roof survey works in Brunswick Park
Everything we check, we check safely: from the ground, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it’s safe. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where it applies, which helps with tall or steep roofs. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. We survey natural slate, clay and concrete tiles and ridges, hips and valleys, and people most often book us about torn or sagging underlay and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. For a house in Brunswick Park with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Do you need a roof survey in Brunswick Park?
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that isn’t firmly fixed, while rain gets into every gap. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
If you live near a park like Friary Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What experience they bring
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Brunswick Park
With Bruce Castle about 3.6 miles south-east, Brunswick Park sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For businesses in and around places such as Grand Arcade, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. Take an older house close to Oakleigh Community Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

- Natural slate

Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Let us know about any leaks or stains you’ve seen
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. A survey sets a baseline, which makes later changes easy to spot. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. Knowing what’s needed early gives you time to plan it calmly.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

Questions from Brunswick Park
Is my home in Brunswick Park listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Brunswick Park?
It depends on the street. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well, and a driveway is even better.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Brunswick Park?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. On Premium, a drone is used where applicable.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it usually takes an hour or two for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
