About our roof survey in Heath End
Roofs vary a lot across London and the South East. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, 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. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. Common reasons to book are lifted, split or missing lead flashings and leaning or weathered chimney stacks, on the roof space, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles.
In a small place like Heath End, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Heath End

Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
What we look for on each type of roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Most leaks begin at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. They get particular attention in every survey.
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.
Common questions in Heath End
How do I find out if my home in Heath End is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to Heath End?
Yes. Heath End is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. We also use views from the ground, windows and the loft space, and Premium includes a drone where applicable.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What does a roof survey include?
All the main parts of the roof: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies.
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We don’t give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
How much does a roof survey cost in Heath End?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before you book. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Do you need a roof survey in Heath End?
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. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
If you look after a building such as The Hurst School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Before booking anyone
- What insurance they carry
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Roof surveys in Heath End: local notes
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Heath End
By the time water marks a ceiling, it is often been getting in for a while. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. From inside the roof space, we can often spot it sooner. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey normally takes between one and two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like Heath End can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
