Roof survey in E10: how it works
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the roof space where there’s safe access. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. We survey lead flashings, clay and concrete tiles and chimney stacks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and debris building up in roof valleys.
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.

Roof surveys across E10: local notes
Across E10, from Walthamstow, Leyton and Bakers Arms outwards, roofs range from old slate and clay tile to modern concrete tiles and flat roofs. Chimneys, valleys, flashings and gutters are usually where the work is.
Our surveys reach from London out to Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Essex, the Thames Valley, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, and E10 is well within that. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends.
Leyton: With Sutton House about 2.2 miles south-west, the area around Leyton has a long history. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. Anyone responsible for a site like Dawlish Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Landlords, agents and block managers in E10
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Why roofs fail
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, while rain gets into every gap. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
Why act early?
Roof faults rarely stay the same size. One slipped slate lets water reach the battens and underlay, and wet timber starts to decay. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.

How we price roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see

Useful tips for E10 property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, while Premium includes a consultation in person. You can ask us about anything that is not clear.
Keep the loft space ventilated. A stuffy loft collects condensation, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Make sure insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.
Common questions in E10
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. We flag materials that could contain it, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: coverings, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Higher packages add moisture detection, structural checks, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we can. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
