Turnham Green Roof Survey
Roof surveys around Turnham Green, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
When to book a survey in Turnham Green
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. On slate roofs, corroded nails let slates slip, which is known as ‘nail fatigue’. On tiled roofs, battens and pegs can rot.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
Homes near green spaces such as Dukes Meadows can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
How a roof survey works in Turnham Green
There are three levels of survey: a Basic Survey from £150, a Standard Survey from £250 and a Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where it applies. Each one comes with a written report. We survey natural slate, chimney stacks and clay and concrete tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are leaning or weathered chimney stacks and worn or blocked valleys.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, so roofs are often shared between several households. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it is in and what work is coming up, in Turnham Green as anywhere. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. With a written report and photographs, everyone can plan from the same facts.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. In Turnham Green, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.

Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Ponding, blistering, splits and cracked surfaces are the common warning signs. We also look at the edges, upstands and outlets.
Lead flashings and valleys
Most leaks begin at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. That is why we look at them closely.
What we can’t see
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Turnham Green
Turnham Green is about 2 miles from the edge of the flight restriction zone around London Heliport in Battersea. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the exact boundary for the address before flying. Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Take an older house close to St. Nicholas Church: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Livat Hammersmith, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
Turnham Green is about 2 miles south of Acton, in Greater London.

Questions from Turnham Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Turnham Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Chiswick station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
When will the report arrive?
Premium reports arrive the same day, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Photos are included.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We do not put a figure on it, 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.
Do you cover Turnham Green?
Yes, we do. Turnham Green is part of the area we cover.
What affects the cost of roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Which survey package you book
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The roof’s overall size
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Booking your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Why act early in Turnham Green
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. An overflow there sends water indoors. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. London’s older roofs often have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.
