A roof inspection is a professional check of your roof’s condition. We look at the covering (tiles, slates, felt, EPDM or lead), ridges and valleys, flashing, chimney stacks, gutters and fascias. We’re looking for damage, wear and early signs of water getting in. We then explain the cause of any problem and what, if anything, needs doing. Where parts of the roof are hard to reach safely, we can use a drone.
The terms overlap in everyday use. An inspection is a general condition check, often prompted by a leak, a storm or a sale. A roof survey is a more detailed assessment, typically for larger or more complex roofs or ahead of planned work. A drone survey is a method for seeing areas that are difficult or unsafe to reach. We’ll recommend the right level of detail for your property.
Common signs are damp patches or stains on ceilings, daylight in the loft, missing, cracked or slipped tiles or slates, sagging areas, overflowing gutters, heavy moss, and debris from the roof in your gutters or garden. Water can travel along timbers before showing inside, so a stain is not always directly below the problem. If you’re unsure, call 020 3971 1901 and we’ll advise.
As a general guide, a check every few years is sensible for most roofs, and more often for older, flat or heavily exposed roofs. It’s also worth having one after severe weather, before buying or selling a property, and before starting work such as a loft conversion or solar installation. Finding a small defect early is usually cheaper than repairing the damage it causes later.
The cost depends on the size and type of roof, how it’s accessed (ladder, scaffold or drone) and how much detail you need. Call 020 3971 1901 for a price for your property.
Larger, commercial or complex roofs take longer. For an external inspection you often don’t need to be present if access is agreed in advance. For a loft check we’ll need access inside. Disruption is minimal, and we’ll tell you beforehand if scaffolding is needed for a closer look.
Drone inspections include high-resolution imagery and a clear summary of findings with repair recommendations. Photos help you see exactly what we’ve seen and are useful if you need to compare quotes or keep a record.
We’ll explain what we found and where, outline your options (for example a targeted roof repair or a replacement), and give you a clear quote. There’s no obligation to go ahead. Where there’s an active leak or a safety risk, we can make the roof safe first through our emergency roof repair service, then plan the permanent repair.
A dated, photographed record of storm damage can support a claim, and we can document what we find and quote for the repair. The decision on a claim rests with your insurer, so we can’t guarantee an outcome. Check your policy and report the damage promptly, and avoid climbing onto the roof yourself.
Yes. We inspect pitched roofs (tile and slate), flat roofs (felt, EPDM and single-ply), lead and chimney details. On flat roofs we look for ponding, blistering, split seams and drainage problems. On period and listed buildings we look at slate condition, leadwork and traditional detailing. We also inspect commercial and managed buildings, planning access to minimise disruption.
We’re based in Fulham (SW6) and inspect roofs across London, including Chelsea, Wimbledon, Notting Hill, Marylebone, Mayfair, Pimlico, Ealing and Tooting. Call 020 3971 1901 to check we cover your postcode and to arrange an inspection.
