Roof survey in Fulwell, Greater London
Know where you stand with the roof before you decide what to do next. Roof surveys in Fulwell.
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, 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 is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In Fulwell, as in much of London, plenty of properties are flats or terraces without side access, so the back of the roof is often seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, let us know as you book.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

About our roof survey in Fulwell
Roofs vary a lot across London and the South East. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Every part gets the attention it needs. Common reasons to book are ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters, across the roof space, natural slate and clay and concrete tiles.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, often with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. Homes in Fulwell are no exception. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a close look too.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Find records of any re-roofing or repairs
- Check we can open the loft hatch
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. They’ll see each defect and its location, so their quotes cover the same ground.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
Questions from Fulwell
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fulwell?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Are there drone restrictions around Fulwell?
Typically it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. The flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport comes within about 2 miles of Fulwell. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. London’s airspace includes flight restriction zones around Heathrow, London City Airport and London Heliport, and restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Each address is checked against all of them before the drone goes up. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we’ll say so.
How much does a roof survey cost in Fulwell?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How quickly will I get the report?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photographs.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Is Fulwell in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs in Fulwell and the rest of Greater London. To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. An overflow there sends water indoors. We look at them before they cause trouble. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. When the stain finally shows, the damage underneath is often older than it looks.

When to book a survey in Fulwell
Not every roof problem comes from outside. Poor ventilation lets condensation build up in the loft, wetting timbers and insulation. It’s frequently mistaken for a leak.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
If you live in an older home near St Michael's, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether VAT is added on top
