Roof Survey in Grahame Park
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you spend money on it. Roof surveys in Grahame Park, with photos and a clear written report.

What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a visit in Grahame Park, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space and from the roof where it is safe.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- We email a report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Jot down any questions you want answered

About our roof survey in Grahame Park
Three packages cover most roofs: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Every package includes a written report. We survey flat roofs, lead flashings and the roof space, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and loose chimney pots.
A London butterfly roof slopes down to a central valley gutter that drains to the back of the house. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. If your home in Grahame Park has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Questions from Grahame Park
Is drone flying allowed in Grahame Park?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. 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. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Can a landlord with a rental near Mill Hill Broadway station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
When will the report arrive?
That depends on which survey you choose: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. We send it by email.
What do you check on a roof survey?
All the main parts of the roof: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.

Why act early in Grahame Park
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. One slipped slate lets water reach the battens and underlay, and wet timber starts to decay. Catching it early means less to put right. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What you get with us
- Surveys on weekdays and at weekends
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

Roof surveys in Grahame Park: local notes
With Heath Hall about 3.5 miles south-east, Grahame Park sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Grahame Park is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Broadwalk Centre, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. If you live in an older home near St Augustine Grahame Park, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you own a rental within reach of Mill Hill Broadway station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
