Roof survey in Newell Green
Roofs vary a lot across London and the South East. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. We adapt the survey to the roof in front of us. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Every part gets the attention it needs. If you’ve noticed leaking gutter joints and downpipes and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Newell Green are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. Older rural homes like those around Newell Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- 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 photographs and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Tips that help
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Let us know about past leaks
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Check the roof from the ground after storms
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Keep the roof space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air can’t move, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Check insulation does not block the airflow at the eaves.
Checking the roof from the ground
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.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.

Your questions about roof surveys in Newell Green
Is my home in Newell Green listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Newell Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How soon is the report ready?
The Premium Survey has a same-day report, Standard 24 to 48 hours and Basic within 48 hours. Each report includes photographs.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. Where materials might contain it, we say so in the report and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How much does a roof survey cost in Newell Green?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Do you need a roof survey in Newell Green?
Every roof takes years of rain, wind, sun and frost. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while rain gets into every gap. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Look out for signs like these:
- Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and tiles
- Loose chimney pots
- Debris building up in roof valleys
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Michael and All Angels, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
