Roof surveys across N22: what to expect
There are three levels of survey: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, such as moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Every package includes a written report. We survey flat roofs, ridges, hips and valleys and clay and concrete tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and torn or sagging underlay.
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, it usually takes about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.

Roof surveys across N22: local notes
Across N22, 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.
London and South East England mix slate and clay tile roofs on older homes with concrete tiles on many later ones. That variety shapes every survey in N22.
Noel Park: If you own a rental within reach of Alexandra Palace station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Noel Park Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Useful tips for N22 property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Let us know about past leaks
The recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. A stuffy loft collects condensation, which can dampen timbers and insulation over time. Make sure insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.
Honest limits
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- Asbestos testing of any kind
- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
What happens if roof problems are left?
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. An overflow there sends water indoors. A survey checks them while they’re still dry.
Before booking any surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Are they insured for the work?
- Is VAT included in the price?
Signs you need a roof survey
Some damage starts inside the roof space. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, wetting timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak, and it needs a different fix.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Water stains on rafters and ceiling joists
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in.
Questions from N22
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Do you work in N22?
Yes. We cover N22 and the rest of Greater London. To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Can you survey in bad weather?
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.
