Roof survey in Wimbledon Park, Greater London
Roof surveys in Wimbledon Park from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
What affects the cost of roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The roof’s overall size
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Which survey package you book
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- What made you get in touch
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.
Roof survey in Wimbledon Park
Good roofs last decades, but their parts wear at different rates. Natural slate can last 100 years or more, and clay and concrete tiles commonly 50 years or more, yet nails, battens and underlay often fail first. We tell you which parts are ageing and which are sound. That lets you plan work in good time rather than after a leak. Common reasons to book are valley linings that have cracked or split and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, on the roof space, flat roofs and ridges, hips and 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’s in and what work is coming up. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. With a written report and photos, everyone can plan from the same facts.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Before you put a home on the market, it helps to know the roof’s condition. You can deal with defects before a buyer’s surveyor finds them, or at least know what to expect. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
Every price we give includes VAT. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before you book.

Questions from Wimbledon Park
Is parking a problem for a survey in Wimbledon Park?
Parking in Wimbledon Park, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available as you book.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Earlsfield station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t normally stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Do you cover Wimbledon Park?
Yes. Wimbledon Park is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. Asbestos testing isn’t part of our service. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on older buildings, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before any work.
What this survey cannot tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)
- The condition of the rest of the building (that’s a RICS home survey)
- An exact number of years the roof has left
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.

Roof by roof
Lead flashings and valleys
Lead flashings seal chimneys, walls and abutments. Lifted, split or slipped lead is recorded, and for flashings replaced with mortar or bitumen.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They’re heavy and hard-wearing, but their surfaces weather over the years, and they can crack.
Roof surveys around Wimbledon Park
The flight restriction zone around London Heliport in Battersea comes within about 1 mile of Wimbledon Park. If your survey includes the drone, we check the exact boundary for the address before flying. Historic houses such as Southside House, about 1.8 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Wimbledon Park goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Albemarle Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Take an older house close to Church of St Luke: 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 instance near Southside Wandsworth, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

The survey, step by step
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In Wimbledon Park, as in much of London, plenty of properties are flats or terraces without side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents as you book.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there’s safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Advice
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Let us know about past leaks
- Keep the report with your property records
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It helps you see whether anything has changed.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, ideally after the leaves have fallen. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
