Keeper's Corner Roof Survey
A careful look at the roof at your property in Keeper's Corner, and put it all in a report with photographs.

Roof survey in Keeper's Corner: what you get
We inspect what can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it is safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where applicable, a drone, which helps with tall or steep roofs. You do not need to do anything except give us access. Everything we see is photographed for the report. If you’ve noticed ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on the roof space, chimney stacks and flat roofs alike.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Keeper's Corner
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In a hamlet or village like Keeper's Corner, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Advice
What affects the cost of roof surveys
To price your survey, we look at:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The size of the roof
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Anything about access we should know
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 get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and damp timber slowly weakens. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. In a small place like Keeper's Corner, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why book with us
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Photographs and a written report every time
- Over 20 years’ experience
- An independent look at the roof

Common questions in Keeper's Corner
Is Keeper's Corner within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Keeper's Corner?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it’s wearing, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
How long will you be at the property?
On site, it typically takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
How much does a roof survey cost in Keeper's Corner?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.

Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Damp on a chimney breast inside frequently starts with the stack outside. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
Natural slate
Slate is common on older homes in London and the South East. Widespread slipping normally points to corroded nails, and we say how widespread it looks.
