FAQs for Walton Court
Will you come out to Walton Court?
Yes. Walton Court is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is my home in Walton Court listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How do I book a survey in Walton Court?
Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll explain what’s needed.

Roof survey in Walton Court: what you get
Good roofs last decades, but their parts wear at different rates. Slate often lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, yet nails, battens and underlay often fail first. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. That lets you plan work in good time rather than after a leak. Typical surveys look at leaking gutter joints and downpipes and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone, across natural slate, flat roofs and lead flashings.
In a smaller place like Walton Court, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose before it lets water in. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Which survey package you book
- House, block, shop or office
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Anything about access we should know
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.
Signs you need a roof survey in Walton Court
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.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of the Good Shepherd, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Before booking anyone
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. They’ll see each defect and its location, which makes quotes easier to compare.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Walton Court is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- We email a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
Booking a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.

What else we do in Walton Court
Different roofs, different checks
Concrete interlocking tiles
On low-pitched roofs, the laps and fixings of interlocking tiles matter. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted, especially at the verges and ridge.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Tile-hanging on walls and dormer cheeks is checked as part of the roof where it’s relevant. Loose or missing tiles there let rain into the wall.
What a roof survey doesn’t cover
A survey is a careful look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
- A full building survey of the property
- Asbestos testing of any kind
