Roof surveys across HA6: what to expect
Most houses have more than one roof to look at. Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers are common. They’re included alongside the main roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. Flat roofs often need attention long before the main roof, so they deserve a careful look. A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. Typical surveys look at gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and ridge tiles that have lifted or moved, on lead flashings, the roof space and flat roofs.
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from every safe vantage point outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.

Homes and roofs across HA6
Across HA6, a good many older houses still have chimney stacks, used or not, and the lead and mortar around them need watching. Valleys, gutters and fixings follow close behind.
Our area covers London and South East England, including HA6. London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates.
Eastbury: Headstone Manor lies about 3.2 miles south-east, so building around Eastbury goes back a long way. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. If you live in an older home near Emmanuel Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Honest limits
Every survey has limits, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- Confirmation of asbestos in soffits or cement sheets
- A structural engineer’s report
Useful tips for HA6 property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Mention any damp patches when booking
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
We email the report to you. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Each finding is set out in plain English.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear of leaves and moss, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Clear gutters prevent a lot of damp.
Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Why act early?
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from the ground. You might pay for work that does not fix the real problem, or to a real problem being missed. A survey tells you what actually needs attention.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What experience they bring
- How soon the report will arrive
- What happens after the report arrives
FAQs for HA6
Will the report say how many years my roof has left?
We don’t put a figure on it, 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.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only when it’s safe. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft.
How long does a roof survey take?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. The report follows within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
