About our new roof snagging in Brook Street
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photographs. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are debris left in gutters or valleys and tiles or slates sitting out of line.
Older buildings in small places like Brook Street may be listed or in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Questions from Brook Street
Do you cover Brook Street?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Brook Street is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Is my home in Brook Street listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you deal with my roofer if there is a problem?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Why it is worth a survey now in Brook Street
Some faults only show when water gets in. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. In a small place like Brook Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t 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.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Brook Street
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
What we can’t see
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Brook Street
- New flat roofs
- Ridges and verges
- Replacement roofs
- Flashings and valleys
- New-build homes
- Loft conversions and dormers
Roof by roof
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so it needs to be finished well. The lining and the cut coverings along it are checked.
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. We note any that look out of place.
The survey, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Brook Street, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Arrange a survey
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.

Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, with post-war and more recent estates making up much of the newer housing.
