Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Aimes Green
We survey roofs in Aimes Green and across London and South East England. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and bring 20+ years’ experience. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photographs and recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us. We survey flat roofs, clay and concrete tiles and chimney stacks, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are standing water on a flat roof and gaps in the roof where coverings have gone.
Somewhere as small as Aimes Green, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Aimes Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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 look at the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The roof’s overall size
- Height and safe access
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Aimes Green: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Aimes Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Aimes Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
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 applicable.
How do I arrange a roof survey in Aimes Green?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes, we can. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. Where a defect looks to be on the neighbour’s side, the report says so.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it when you book and we will explain what’s needed.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Local roofs in Aimes Green
In Essex, older buildings are frequently clay-tiled, many with weatherboarding, while many towns grew with post-war and newer estates. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you look after a building such as King Harold Business & Enterprise Academy, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Trees in and around Lee Valley Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Near you in Aimes Green
Typical jobs here are in homes near Lee Valley Park. The nearest railway station is Cheshunt station, roughly 1.9 miles west of the centre. A little further out are Nazeing Glass Museum (2.6 miles north-west) and St. Margaret's Hospital (4.4 miles east). For a walk, there’s Lippitts Hill and Cheshunt Lake.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Why get it checked now?
Many roofs go years without anyone looking at them closely. A survey sets a baseline, so you can compare it next time. In a small place like Aimes Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Do you need a roof survey in Aimes Green?
Flashings seal the joints where a roof meets a wall or chimney. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Missing lead isn’t unusual either, as thieves target it.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
Historic houses such as Forty Hall, about 4.6 miles south-west, show how far back building around Aimes Green goes. Older homes in the area may have roofs that need matching materials when work is done.
