Roof survey in Wallington, Greater London
Roof surveys around Wallington, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Surveys in Wallington can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Roof survey in Wallington: what you get
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the roof space where there is safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. If you’ve noticed slates or tiles that have slipped or broken and worn or blocked valleys, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, chimney stacks and the roof space alike.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, so roofs are frequently shared between several households. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it’s in and what work is coming up, in Wallington as anywhere. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. With a written report and photos, everyone can plan from the same facts.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Roof surveys around Wallington
Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Nonsuch Mansion lies about 3.4 miles west, so building around Wallington goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby frequently mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. The streets around a church such as Church of the Holy Trinity are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Prices for roof surveys in Wallington
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Honest limits
It is useful to know what a survey will not do before booking:
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we look at
- Chimney stacks
- Clay and concrete tiles
- Ridges, hips and valleys
- Natural slate
- The roof space
- Lead flashings
- Flat roofs
Signs you need a roof survey in Wallington
Slates and tiles frequently outlast the fixings that hold them. ‘Nail fatigue’ is common on slate roofs: the nails rust and the slates slide. On tiled roofs, battens and pegs can rot.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Loose chimney pots
If you look after a building such as Holy Trinity CofE Junior School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Before booking anyone
- What experience they bring
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report

Roof by roof
Flat roof coverings
Some flat roofs have been coated over several times. If the covering would need opening up to know more, we say so.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted, particularly at the verges and ridge.
Common questions in Wallington
Is parking a problem for a survey in Wallington?
Sometimes, yes. If Wallington has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer.
Can a landlord with a rental near Wallington station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you go up on the roof?
When the roof and the conditions make it safe, yes. We also use views from ground level, windows and the loft space, and Premium includes a drone where applicable.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos testing isn’t part of our service. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
All the main parts of the roof: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t put a figure on it, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
