Our roof survey service in E20

Roofs vary a lot across London and South East England. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, 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. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. Typical surveys look at valley linings that have cracked or split and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, across the roof space, lead flashings and natural slate.

The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are.

  1. You pick the package that suits your roof.
  2. On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
  3. We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
  4. Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
  5. The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters across E20

Across E20, we survey roofs for owners, landlords and agents, in Stratford, Maryland and Donnybrook Quarter and well beyond. Every report comes with photos and written recommendations.

Our area covers London and South East England, including E20. Housing here runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates.

Temple Mills: For site and facilities teams at buildings like Chobham Academy, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Sutton House lies about 1.6 miles west, so building around Temple Mills goes back a long way. If your home is one of the older ones, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up.

What affects the cost of roof surveys

A few things affect what a survey costs:

  • The shape of the roof and its details
  • The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
  • The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
  • Basic, Standard or Premium

We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

What to let us know when you get in touch

Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:

  • Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
  • Any deadline, such as an exchange date
  • Any marks or damp showing indoors
  • Where the property is, with the postcode

Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

What happens if roof problems are left?

A roof that has had no attention for years can surprise you. A survey sets a baseline, so you can compare it next time.

What to check before booking

  • Are they insured for the work?
  • How they plan to inspect the roof safely
  • What happens after the report arrives
  • How long they’ve been surveying roofs

Rented homes, blocks and businesses

Landlords, agents and building managers in E20 and across Greater London can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the roof.

Different roofs, different checks

Lead flashings and valleys

Flashings close the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Lifted, split or slipped lead is recorded, and for flashings replaced with mortar or bitumen.

Chimney stacks

Each chimney’s pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at. We note any lean or loose pots.

Why roofs fail

Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that is not firmly fixed, and rain finds any gap it can. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.

A survey can pick up problems like:

  • Flashings that have come away from the wall
  • Standing water on a flat roof
  • Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
  • Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved

Your questions about roof surveys in E20

Is this a RICS survey?

No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.

Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?

No. We report on the roof’s condition, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It doesn’t include structural calculations, which need an engineer.

What do you check on a roof survey?

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 it applies.

How long will you be at the property?

The visit typically takes an hour or two at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. We’ll give you an idea of timing as you book.

How much does a roof survey cost in E20?

Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Will the report say how many years my roof has left?

We do not put a figure on it, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. Instead, we set out what’s sound, what’s wearing and what to do first.

I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?

Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
