- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before you book.
Getting in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- The kind of building and roof involved
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
How a storm damage roof report works in Bopeep
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from the ground or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, like covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Hold on to receipts for anything you pay for. Common reasons to book are ridge tiles that have come loose and slates and tiles blown off the roof, across gutters and fascias, ridges and hips and flat roofs.
In converted houses and blocks across London, water from a roof can run a long way before it shows on a ceiling. That makes the source hard to pin down, and finding it matters for whoever has to deal with it. In Bopeep, we inspect what we can reach safely and are given access to. It helps to know when the water appears and in what weather.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Leaks and storm damage in Bopeep
Lullingstone Castle, about 2.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bopeep. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
Landlords with a home close to Knockholt station may find that a tenant living with a leak needs the cause found, not just the stain painted over. If you look after a building like Chelsfield Primary School, tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
The survey, 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 will take it from there. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Bopeep we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- You let us know when the storm was and what damage you’ve seen.
- The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows and from the loft space where it’s safe.
- Each area of damage is photographed and described.
- We check whether the damage fits storm damage, older wear or both.
- We send you a written report with photos, ready to give to your insurer.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
Do you need a storm damage roof report in Bopeep?
Flat roofs can be damaged too. Coverings can tear or peel back at the edges, and water can pond where outlets are blocked. Our report covers flat and pitched roofs.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Torn or lifted flat roof coverings
- Water coming in after the storm
- Broken or displaced guttering
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Bopeep, along with any off-street space.

Bopeep questions
Is my home in Bopeep listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bopeep?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Bopeep is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How do I book a survey in Bopeep?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What if my insurer declines the claim?
Complain to your insurer first. After that, the Financial Ombudsman Service may be able to look at it. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we cannot predict the outcome.
