How a roof survey works in Stonebridge Park
Roofs vary a lot across London and South East England. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. 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. If you are worried about crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, we can find out what’s behind it.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. In Stonebridge Park, as across London, that’s why a roof needs a proper look rather than a glance from the street. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Stonebridge Park runs like any other.

Do you need a roof survey in Stonebridge Park?
The underlay under the coverings matters too. Breathable membranes only appeared in the UK in the late 1990s, so older roofs frequently have bitumen felt, and very old ones may have none. Felt that has torn or perished stops doing its job.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
Take an older house close to St Michael the Archangel: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Their report turnaround times
Local roofs in Stonebridge Park
Historic houses like Pitzhanger Manor, about 2.8 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Stonebridge Park goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Stonebridge Park is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Trees in and around St. Raphael's Edible Garden shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you own a rental within reach of Stonebridge Park station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Prices for roof surveys in Stonebridge Park
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Roof area
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
What this survey can’t tell you
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Defects hidden under coverings or inside walls without opening up
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Asbestos testing of any kind
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Chimney stacks
- Lead flashings
- Natural slate
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Flat roofs
- The roof space
Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Keep the report with your property records
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
Keep the report with your property records. It’s a useful baseline for future surveys, and it can help when you sell.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
Common questions in Stonebridge Park
Is my home in Stonebridge Park listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
I let a flat near Stonebridge Park station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you cover Stonebridge Park?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes Stonebridge Park.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. Our report notes any materials that might, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it is wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Different roofs, different checks
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. That is why we look at them closely.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. We check for cracked, slipped and missing tiles, and for spalling where the surface has flaked.
