About our roof survey in Surbiton Park
We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it is safe. Premium adds thermal imaging, plus a drone inspection where it applies, which helps with tall or steep roofs. All we need from you is access to the property and the loft. Everything we see is photographed for the report. Common reasons to book are flashings that have come away from the wall and standing water on a flat roof, across flat roofs, clay and concrete tiles and ridges, hips and valleys.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, where the roof is normally a shared part of the building. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it is in and what work is coming up, in Surbiton Park as anywhere. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. A report gives everyone the same picture to plan from, with photographs.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What else we do in Surbiton Park
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles commonly last 50 years or more. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded, and for spalling where the surface has flaked.
Flat roof coverings
Felt flat roofs frequently last around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM rubber often lasts 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30. We check its condition and the signs of age.
What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a London area like Surbiton Park, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it is safe.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaks rarely show up straight away. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. From inside the roof space, we can frequently spot it sooner. Any roof job in Surbiton Park means planning around parking, neighbours and access. Knowing what’s needed early gives you time to plan it calmly, rather than in a rush after a leak.

Local roofs in Surbiton Park
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. With Hampton Court Palace about 1.4 miles west, Surbiton Park sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Living close to Hampton Court Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you let a flat or house near Surbiton station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Shop and office owners around Bentall Centre may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Keep the report with your property records
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Photograph anything new.
FAQs for Surbiton Park
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Surbiton Park?
It rarely stops a survey, but it’s worth planning. Let us know what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Is drone flying allowed in Surbiton Park?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. 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. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. We report on the roof’s condition, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It isn’t a structural engineer’s report and does not include calculations.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We don’t give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, with recommendations ranked by urgency.
Can you survey a roof I share with a neighbour?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
