What a roof survey looks like in Crews Hill
Forty Hall, about 1.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Crews Hill. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
As a London address, Crews Hill can be tricky for parking: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day easier, as a space near the door cannot be promised. If you look after a building such as St John's CofE Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

About our roof survey in Crews Hill
We survey roofs in Crews Hill and across London and South East England. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability. 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 are ready to book, call 07833 053749 or email us. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, the roof space and lead flashings, and people most often book us about water stains on rafters and ceiling joists and standing water on a flat roof.
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. If your home in Crews Hill has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Why get it checked now?
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than waiting for something to fail. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. That’s a good reason to find problems early, while there’s time to plan, rather than in a rush after a leak.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.
Why book us in Crews Hill

Different roofs, different checks
Natural slate
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, yet the nails holding it often fail long before the slate. Slipped, cracked and missing slates are all noted, and for clips that show past repairs.
Chimney stacks
Our chimney check is a visual inspection of the stack, and it is not a flue or gas safety check. We’ll tell you if the flue needs a specialist.
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Let us know about past leaks
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
Your report arrives by email. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Findings are explained in plain words, with recommendations.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
Signs you need a roof survey in Crews Hill
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Hidden gutters behind parapets and in valleys can send water indoors.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
Landlords with a home close to Crews Hill station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- What exactly goes into their report
- Are they insured for the work?
- Their report turnaround times
How it works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Crews Hill we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from the ground, 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.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Crews Hill questions
Is parking a problem for a survey in Crews Hill?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway as you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
I let a flat near Crews Hill station. Can you check the roof?
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 you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Do you work in Crews Hill?
Yes, we do. We carry out roof surveys in Crews Hill, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as an exact number, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Prices for roof surveys in Crews Hill
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
