Roof survey in Chingford Mount, Greater London

Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Roof survey in Chingford Mount
Everything we check, we check safely: from ground level, from windows and other vantage points, from inside the loft and from the roof itself where it’s safe. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging and, where it applies, a drone, for roofs that are hard to see well. You do not need to do anything except give us access. Everything we see is photographed for the report. If you are worried about flashings that have come away from the wall and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters, we can find out what’s behind it, on natural slate, ridges, hips and valleys and clay and concrete tiles alike.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, so roofs are frequently shared between several households. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it’s in and what work is coming up. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. With a written report and photos, everyone can plan from the same facts.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Booking your survey
These details help when you get in touch:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Why get it checked now?
Leaks rarely show up right away. Insulation, plaster and timber can all be damp before you see a stain. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
What you get with us
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable

Common roof problems in Chingford Mount
Not every roof problem comes from outside. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It is often mistaken for a leak.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
For businesses in and around places such as Edmonton Green Shopping Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Chingford Mount homes and their roofs
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Edmund's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Anyone responsible for a site like Lime Academy Larkswood will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

How the survey works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. For a visit in Chingford Mount, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We look at the roof from every safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.
Before the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
