About our roof survey in Wimbledon Chase
There’s no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: we inspect carefully and explain what we see in writing. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. If you’re worried about cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and worn lead at chimneys and abutments, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Much of London’s housing is flats, in converted houses or purpose-built blocks, so roofs are often 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 Wimbledon Chase as anywhere. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. A report gives everyone the same picture to plan from, with photos.
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, whichever applies.

Wimbledon Chase: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a survey in Wimbledon Chase?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Is drone flying allowed in Wimbledon Chase?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions 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. Every London address is checked against them before a flight. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.

How it works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take an hour or two on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a visit in Wimbledon Chase, parking and access are the things to plan: 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 the ground, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- You get in touch with the address and anything you’ve noticed.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.

Advice
What we look for on each type of roof
Natural slate
Slate is common on older homes in London and South East England. Widespread slipping usually points to corroded nails, and we say how widespread it looks.
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. That is why we check them closely.
Roof surveys in Wimbledon Chase: local notes
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For an older house near a landmark like St Mary's Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you own a rental within reach of Wimbledon Chase station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For businesses in and around places such as Southside Wandsworth, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Why act early in Wimbledon Chase
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. When they do, water comes straight into the house. We check them before they cause trouble. In Wimbledon Chase, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below, which can lead to damp inside. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
