Roof Survey London & Bromley

A roof survey saves you money — and surprises

Standard homebuyer surveys rarely examine the roof in any detail. A surveyor may note visible issues from ground level, but they will not climb up, lift tiles or check flashings. That is where problems get missed — and where unexpected repair bills come from weeks or months after completion.

A dedicated roof survey from Consolidated Roofing gives you a thorough, up-close inspection carried out by qualified roofers who know exactly what to look for. We cover everything from ridge lines and valleys to guttering, leadwork and loft spaces — then deliver a written report with photographs so you know precisely what needs attention and what it is likely to cost.

What you get:

• Specialist roofers — not general surveyors reading from a checklist
• Covers slate, tile, flat and pitched roofs of all ages
• Written report with photographs and costed recommendations
• Available across London and Bromley — usually within the week
• Useful for home buyers, landlords, insurance and maintenance planning

Home Buyer Roof Survey

The most common reason people book a roof survey. If you are buying a property in London or Bromley, a dedicated roof inspection picks up issues that a standard homebuyer survey will miss — hidden leaks, failing flashings, remaining slate life. The report gives you the information you need to negotiate on price or budget for repairs before you move in.

Roof Condition Report

A detailed assessment of your existing roof’s current state. We inspect the covering material, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, guttering, fascias and soffits — then provide a written report grading each element and recommending any work needed. Ideal for homeowners who want to stay ahead of problems rather than react to them.

Pre-Purchase Inspection

Going beyond the roof surface, this inspection covers the loft space, timbers, insulation, ventilation and any evidence of previous repairs. Particularly useful on older properties across Bromley and South East London where the roof structure may have been altered or patched over the years without proper documentation.

Insurance & Claims Survey

Storm damage, accidental impact, subsidence — if you need to make an insurance claim or your insurer has asked for a specialist report, we provide independent assessments with photographic evidence and itemised repair costings. Our reports are accepted by all major insurers.

Landlord & Maintenance Survey

For landlords and property managers with portfolios across London, a regular roof survey protects the building and keeps tenants safe. We can set up annual or biennial inspections with consistent reporting so you always know the condition of every property in your portfolio.

Loft Conversion Assessment

Planning a loft conversion? Before any structural work begins the existing roof needs a thorough inspection. We assess the timber condition, load-bearing capacity, covering material and any repairs that should be completed before the conversion starts — saving you complications mid-build.

1. Roof Covering

Condition of slates, tiles, flat roof membranes or asphalt. We check for cracked, slipped, missing or deteriorating materials and estimate remaining useful life.

2. Ridges, Hips & Valleys

Ridge tiles, hip tiles and valley linings are common failure points. We inspect the mortar bedding, lead valleys and any mechanical fixings for signs of movement or wear.

3. Flashings & Leadwork

Chimney flashings, abutment flashings, dormers and parapet details. Failed lead and zinc flashings are one of the most common causes of roof leaks across London properties.

4. Guttering & Rainwater Goods

Gutters, downpipes, hoppers and outlets. Blocked or damaged rainwater goods lead to overflows, damp walls and fascia rot — all avoidable with early identification.

5. Loft Space & Timbers

Where access allows, we inspect rafters, purlins, ridge boards and joists for signs of rot, woodworm, poor ventilation or inadequate insulation. Structural timber issues are best caught early.

6. Written Report & Costings

You receive a detailed written report with photographs, a condition grading for each element inspected, and estimated costs for any recommended repairs — giving you a clear picture before making any decisions.

Roofers, Not Surveyors

Our inspections are carried out by tradespeople who repair and replace roofs every day. We spot problems that a general surveyor simply does not have the experience to identify.

London & Bromley Coverage

Based in Bromley and working across London, we know the local housing stock — Victorian slate, Edwardian tile, post-war concrete, modern flat roofs. That local knowledge informs every report we write.

Fast Turnaround

We aim to carry out surveys within a week of booking and deliver the written report promptly — important when you are working to exchange deadlines on a property purchase.

No Hidden Costs

The survey fee is agreed upfront before we visit. If any repairs are needed, we provide honest costings — but there is never any pressure to use us for the work.
