How the survey works
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In Enfield Chase, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is frequently by permit or pay-and-display, so it’s useful to know what’s near you. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from each 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
- Keep pets in another room
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Book a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Roof survey in Enfield Chase
Across London and the South East, roofs differ widely. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Each part is checked in the way that suits it. We are often asked to look into ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs and leaning or weathered chimney stacks, across natural slate, chimney stacks and the roof space.
A London butterfly roof slopes down to a central valley gutter that drains to the back of the house. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. For a house in Enfield Chase with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

When to book a survey in Enfield Chase
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Strong gusts work at anything that isn’t firmly fixed, while rain gets into every gap. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Worn or blocked valleys
If you live near a park such as Enfield Town Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the survey won’t cover
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
What happens if roof problems are left?
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. A survey lets you deal with things in order of urgency, rather than waiting for something to fail. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. That is a good reason to find problems early, while there’s time to plan.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why us?
- Every finding written up with photos
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- An independent view of the roof
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Enfield Chase: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Enfield Chase station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Enfield Chase?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Across London there are restriction zones around Heathrow, London City and London Heliport, plus restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Each address is checked against all of them before the drone goes up. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We don’t give a number of years. The report explains the condition of each part and the signs of wear, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How much does a roof survey cost in Enfield Chase?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What do you check on a roof survey?
Every part of the roof we can safely see: the slates or tiles, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and roof space. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check, and Premium adds thermal imaging and a drone where applicable.

What a roof survey looks like in Enfield Chase
Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses like Forty Hall, about 1.6 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Enfield Chase goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Shop and office owners around Edmonton Green Shopping Centre may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. For landlords with property near Enfield Chase station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Checking the roof from ground level
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
