Why choose us

Why Use an Independent Roof Inspector?

When you need a roof survey, it matters who carries it out. Many roofing companies will inspect your roof — but they also profit from the repair work they recommend. At Tilley’s, we are fully independent roof surveyors. We have no financial interest in the outcome of your inspection, which means you get an honest, unbiased roof assessment you can rely on.

Our roof inspection reports are used by homebuyers, homeowners, landlords, solicitors and insurers across London, Surrey, Kent and Sussex. Whether you need a pre-purchase roof inspection, a roof condition report for your insurer, or simply want to know the true state of your roof — our independent surveyors give you the facts.
