Practical tips

- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Check the roof from ground level after storms
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
We email the report to you. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. Each finding is set out in plain English, with recommendations.
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.
How a roof survey works in Jennett's Park
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, along with the loft where it’s safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it is relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. We survey ridges, hips and valleys, the roof space and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are leaning or weathered chimney stacks and cracked mortar along the ridge.
In a smaller place like Jennett's Park, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Jennett's Park
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. Our report gives you a record of how the roof is today, so you can compare it next time. Arranging work in a smaller place like Jennett's Park is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
Why us?
- Photographs and a written report every time
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Package prices that include VAT
How the survey works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. For a survey in Jennett's Park, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Honest limits
A survey is a close look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.

Questions from Jennett's Park
Is Jennett's Park within the area you cover?
Yes. Jennett's Park is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Jennett's Park is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Will you check the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. Our report notes any materials that might, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Jennett's Park
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
For businesses in and around places such as The Lexicon, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. For an older house near a landmark such as St Paul, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Martins Heron station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
