About roof surveys in EN1
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Slate often lasts a century or more, and tiles commonly half a century, but the fixings and underlay beneath them often give out sooner. A survey shows which parts of your roof are wearing. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. We survey flat roofs, ridges, hips and valleys and natural slate, and the problems we are asked to look at most are gutters that overflow in heavy rain and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken.
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos. As for time on site, it normally takes an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.

Roof surveys across EN1: local notes
From Edmonton, Enfield and Bush Hill Park to smaller places, people across EN1 use a roof survey to plan ahead. A report helps you sort small faults before they let water in.
Our area takes in slate-roofed London terraces, clay-tiled Weald houses, Essex weatherboarding and post-war new towns. EN1 is part of that mix.

Common roof problems in EN1
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack. Lead is also a target for theft.
Look out for signs like these:
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
Different roofs, different checks
Clay plain and peg tiles
Tile-hanging on walls and dormer cheeks is checked as part of the roof where it is relevant. Gaps in tile-hanging let water reach the wall behind.
Chimney stacks
We check the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings of each stack. We note any lean or loose pots.
Practical tips
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. That helps you decide what to do first.
Look at your roof from ground level after strong winds. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
Honest limits
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- A structural engineer’s report
- The condition of the rest of the building (that’s a RICS home survey)
- Asbestos testing of any kind
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
FAQs for EN1
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it’s wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and the Standard and Premium packages include a structural check. It doesn’t include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
How do I arrange a roof survey in EN1?
To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How much does a roof survey cost in EN1?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we will explain what’s needed.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
