About roof surveys in E11
Across London and the South East, roofs differ widely. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Every part gets the attention it needs. Common reasons to book are cracked mortar along the ridge and standing water on a flat roof, across clay and concrete tiles, the roof space and chimney stacks.
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time.
- You tell us about the property and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday or a weekend.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
What you will pay
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Other local landmarks include George Tomlinson Primary School (under half a mile south), Forest School (1.2 miles north) and Connaught School for Girls (less than half a mile south-west).

Roofs, chimneys and gutters across E11
Across E11, a good many older houses still have chimney stacks, used or not, and their flashings and pointing need checking like any other part of the roof. Gutters, valleys and fixings come next.
Our area covers London and South East England, including E11. Housing here runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates.
Leytonstone: If you let a flat or house near Leytonstone High Road station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For businesses in and around places such as 17 & Central, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
Surveys for landlords and agents in E11
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in E11. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time.
What affects the price in E11
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The size of the roof
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What to tell us when you contact us
We will typically ask about:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What’s prompted the survey
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Common roof problems in E11
Not every roof problem comes from outside. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Loose chimney pots
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Let us know about past leaks
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. They’ll see each defect and its location, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Keep the loft space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air cannot move, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
FAQs for E11
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is 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.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we will say so. We do not provide structural calculations.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Is E11 in your area?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes E11.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
