Feltham Roof Survey
Wondering about the roof at a property in Feltham? You can book a roof survey in Feltham and across Greater London.
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Debris building up in roof valleys
How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. Where that’s the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Preparing for the visit
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

How a roof survey works in Feltham
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the roof space where there is safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. We survey the roof space, chimney stacks and lead flashings, and people most often book us about water stains on rafters and ceiling joists and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. From the street you see only a parapet wall, so blocked outlets and split linings go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling. If your home in Feltham has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

For landlords and managing agents
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Common questions in Feltham
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Feltham?
It can be, so it’s useful to let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Feltham station?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It doesn’t include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we can. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.

Useful tips for Feltham property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
File the report with your other home documents. It gives you something to compare against later, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Compare each report with the last.
Checking the roof from the ground
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Roof by roof
Natural slate
Slate is common on older homes in London and the South East. Where several slates have slipped, the cause is often nail fatigue, which we describe in the report.
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings close the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. We check for lead that has lifted, split or slipped.
What a roof survey doesn’t cover
It’s useful to know what a survey won’t do before booking:
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.

Feltham homes and their roofs
Feltham is about 1 mile from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport. If your survey includes the drone, the exact boundary is checked for the address first. Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you live in an older home near Christ Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For businesses in and around places such as Treaty Centre, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. If you look after a building like St Lawrence Catholic Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
