Common questions in Motspur Park
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Motspur Park?
Typically it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and 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. Every London address is checked against them before a flight. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near New Malden station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Do you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where it applies.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, like serious sagging, we’ll say so. We do not provide structural calculations.
How do I book a survey in Motspur Park?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Roof survey in Motspur Park
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. We are often asked to look into ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and loose chimney pots, across ridges, hips and valleys, chimney stacks and lead flashings.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails frequently give out first and let slates slip. In Motspur Park, as across London, that’s why a roof needs a close look rather than a glance from the street. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Places near Motspur Park
What else we do in Motspur Park
What we’re asked to look at in Motspur Park
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while rain gets into every gap. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Problems we come across often include:
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
For businesses in and around places such as Bentall Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- When you’ll get the report
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
Surveys for landlords and agents in Motspur Park
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
How we price roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Why get it checked now?
If you’re planning to sell, a roof survey can help you prepare. You can deal with defects before a buyer’s surveyor finds them, or at least know what to expect. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. Knowing what’s needed early gives you time to plan it calmly.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Why us?
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Package prices that include VAT

What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. Where that’s the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Roof surveys around Motspur Park
About 0.8 miles north-east lies Southside House, a reminder of how long the area around Motspur Park has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you let a flat or house near New Malden station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Living close to Beverley Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.

Tips that help
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- File the report with your home documents
- Let us know about past leaks
- Check we can open the loft hatch
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year.
Keep the loft space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air can’t move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Check insulation does not block the airflow at the eaves.
