About our roof survey in North End
We survey roofs in North End and across London and the South East. We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability, and bring 20+ years’ experience. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. When you are ready to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Typical surveys look at condensation or damp timbers in the loft and gutters that overflow in heavy rain, on clay and concrete tiles, chimney stacks and ridges, hips and valleys.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, so roofs are often shared between several households. Whoever looks after the building needs a clear picture of the roof, chimneys and gutters. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. A report gives everyone the same picture to plan from, with photos.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What we look for on each type of roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Mortar at ridges and verges often cracks on tiled roofs. We check for loose ridge tiles and missing mortar.
Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
Your questions about roof surveys in North End
How do I find out if my home in North End is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
I let a flat near Slade Green station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the building.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the loft space where there’s safe access. You get a written report with photos and recommendations.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT.
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where it applies.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, the part you own or can give access to. We can only look at neighbouring roofs as far as access allows. Shared chimneys and party-wall upstands are looked at from your side.
Is North End in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs in North End and the rest of Greater London. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Common roof problems in North End
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Lead is also a target for theft.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Broadway Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
Before booking anyone
- When you will get the report
- What experience they bring
- Their insurance cover
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
What affects the price in North End
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How big the roof is
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:

- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.

About roof survey
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in North End
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. About 2 miles south-west lies Hall Place and Gardens, a reminder of how long the area around North End has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St. Augustine's Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Living close to Braeburn Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
North End is about 2 miles north-west of Dartford, in Greater London. North End is one of many places we visit across Greater London, for homes and businesses alike. We cover towns and villages across Greater London, large and small. Our London page covers surveys nearby.
Surveys in DA8, DA1 and DA7 are booked the same way as anywhere else. We cover properties on Oak Road, Elm Road and Moat Lane and the roads around them. If you are just outside North End, we cover Slade Green (1 mile east), Barnes Cray (1 mile south), Bexley Riverside (1 mile west), Barnehurst (1 mile west) and Northumberland Heath (1 mile west). Further out, we also cover London (13 miles west), City of Westminster (15 miles west), Marylebone (15 miles west), St Pancras (14 miles west), Shoreditch (12 miles west) and Walthamstow (13 miles north-west).
Local landmarks in North End
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Railway Tavern, Braeburn Park and Haberdashers' Aske's Crayford Academy. There is a railway station in North End itself: Slade Green station. Other landmarks nearby include Erith Museum (1.2 miles north-west) and Erith and District Hospital (1.4 miles north-west). Open spaces near North End include Wansunt Pit.
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are. For a visit in North End, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us 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 loft space and from the roof where it is safe.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- The report is emailed with findings and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us where we can park nearby

Advice
Why it’s worth a survey now in North End
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. When they do, water comes straight into the house. We look at them before they cause trouble. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Why book with us
- Surveys on any day of the week
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
