About our roof survey in Strawberry Hill
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Each defect is described with photographs and a recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where applicable and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. We survey the roof space, ridges, hips and valleys and natural slate, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking gutter joints and downpipes and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, often with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails often give out first and let slates slip. In Strawberry Hill, as across London, that’s why a roof needs a proper look rather than a glance from the street. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a careful look too.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Roof surveys in Strawberry Hill: local notes
The flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport comes within about 2 miles of Strawberry Hill. If your survey includes the drone, the exact boundary is checked for the address first. Historic houses like Strawberry Hill House, about 0.1 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Strawberry Hill goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Living close to Marble Hill Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you let a flat or house near Strawberry Hill station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

What’s near Strawberry Hill

How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a London area like Strawberry Hill, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. We then look at everything that’s safely in view from ground level, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Why it’s worth a survey now in Strawberry Hill
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Checking the roof from the ground
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
How we price roof surveys
We confirm the exact price before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Strawberry Hill: your questions answered
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Strawberry Hill?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Strawberry Hill is about 2 miles from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. 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. Each address is checked against all of them before the drone goes up. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Strawberry Hill station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Will you climb onto 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 applicable.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Strawberry Hill?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as an exact number, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
How much does a roof survey cost in Strawberry Hill?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What we are asked to look at in Strawberry Hill
Slates and tiles often outlast the fixings that hold them. On slate roofs, corroded nails let slates slip, which is known as ‘nail fatigue’. On tiled roofs, battens and pegs can rot, letting tiles move.
Common reasons to book include:
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Anyone responsible for a site like Kneller Hall Senior School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
