About roof surveys in E13
We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it is safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where it applies, a drone, which helps with tall or steep roofs. You don’t need to do anything except give us access. Each defect we find is photographed and explained. We survey clay and concrete tiles, the roof space and lead flashings, and people most frequently book us about lifted, split or missing lead flashings and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone.
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.

Around Plaistow
In Plaistow, that means homes and buildings near Memorial Community Church, The Earl Of Derby Public House and Newham Sixth Form College and the streets around them. Also close by are Kaizen Primary School (within half a mile south-east), The Service for Deaf and Partially Hearing Children (less than half a mile east) and Keir Hardie Park (0.9 miles south-west). The nearest railway station is West Ham station, roughly 0.9 miles west of the centre. Nearby you will also find Newham University Hospital (0.5 miles east) and Greenwich Castle (3.4 miles south). For a walk, there is Old Ford Island and Hollow Pond.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters across E13
Across E13, plenty of 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.
From inner London terraces to Kent oast houses, Sussex tile-hanging and Hampshire thatch, the South East has a huge mix of roofs. E13 is part of that mix.
Plaistow: If you live in an older home near Memorial Community Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Historic houses such as Queen's House, about 3.2 miles south, show how far back building around Plaistow goes. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.
Leave it or get it looked at?
It’s easier to plan roof work than to react to it. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than calling someone out after a storm.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
Surveys for landlords and agents in E13
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
What affects the cost of roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Height and safe access
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before you book.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- When you need the report by
- The property’s address and postcode
- Anything about access we should know
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
Your questions about roof surveys in E13
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
Do you work in E13?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, E13 included.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
Not as an exact number, because so much depends on the fixings, underlay and upkeep. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we can. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we will say so.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, like serious sagging, we will say so. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only when it’s safe. We also use views from ground level, windows and the loft space.
