What a roof survey looks like in Moor Park
About 3.9 miles south-east lies Headstone Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Moor Park has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you live near a park such as King George V Playing Fields, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. For businesses in and around places such as Harlequin Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

Roof survey in Moor Park: what you get
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers are common in felt, EPDM rubber, GRP or asphalt. We check them as well as the main pitched roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. A flat roof normally wears out sooner than a pitched one, so they deserve a close look. Felt often lasts around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber can last 30 to 50. If you’ve noticed leaning or weathered chimney stacks and condensation or damp timbers in the loft, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, ridges, hips and valleys and chimney stacks alike.
Much of London’s housing is flats, in converted houses or purpose-built blocks, where the roof is usually a shared part of the building. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it’s in and what work is coming up. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. With a written report and photographs, everyone can plan from the same facts.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Useful tips for Moor Park property owners
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Mention any damp patches when booking
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
- Stay off ladders and the roof
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. That helps you decide what to do first.
Every so frequently, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Photograph anything new.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Before you put a home on the market, it’s useful to know the roof’s condition. You will know what a buyer’s survey might pick up, or at least know what to expect. 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.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

What else we do in Moor Park
Checking the roof from the ground
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
How the survey changes by roof type
Natural slate
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, yet the nails holding it often fail long before the slate. Slipped, cracked and missing slates are all noted, and for clips that show past repairs.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. We look for lifted, cracked or slipped tiles.
What affects the price in Moor Park
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Roof area
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:

Your questions about roof surveys in Moor Park
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Rickmansworth station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Moor Park?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Across London there are restriction zones around Heathrow, London City and London Heliport, plus 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. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
What does a roof survey include?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, plus the roof space where there’s safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
Do you cover Moor Park for roof surveys?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Moor Park.
How soon is the report ready?
That depends on which survey you choose: within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. It is emailed to you.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when booking.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, 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’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is frequently on a shared landing. Where that is the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Otherwise, the visit in Moor Park runs like any other.
