About our roof survey in Corringham
We survey roofs in Corringham and across London and the South East. Visits run seven days a week. We are insured for professional indemnity and public liability. 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 use the contact form. Typical surveys look at flashings that have come away from the wall and blocked, sagging or leaking gutters, on the roof space, lead flashings and ridges, hips and valleys.
In a smaller place like Corringham, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are typically where the work is, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a survey in Corringham, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point 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 the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

What happens if roof problems are left?
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than calling someone out after a storm. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Corringham, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Roof surveys in Corringham: local notes
Corringham is within about 2 miles of the coast, and wind near the sea can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Shop and office owners around Eastgate Shopping Centre may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. If you own a rental within reach of Stanford-Le-Hope station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Trees in and around Grove House Wood shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Different roofs, different checks
Concrete interlocking tiles
Concrete interlocking tiles are common on post-war and newer homes. They’re heavy and hard-wearing, but their surfaces weather over the years.
Natural slate
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but its nails frequently corrode first. Slipped, cracked and missing slates are all noted, and for clips that show past repairs.
How we price roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The size of the roof
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the exact price before you book.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Common questions in Corringham
How do I find out if my home in Corringham is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can a landlord with a rental near Stanford-Le-Hope station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
How long does a roof survey take?
Allow about one to two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. We’ll give you an idea of timing as you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Where it’s safe, yes. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. On Premium, a drone is used where applicable.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We do not put a figure on it, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
