Tottenham Green Roof Survey
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you spend money on it. Roof surveys in Tottenham Green, with photos and a clear written report.
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
When you need someone else
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
- Walls, floors and services below the roof
- A structural engineer’s report
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Chimney stacks

Roof survey in Tottenham Green: what you get
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT. Basic is a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Each one comes with a written report. If you’ve noticed valley linings that have cracked or split and flashings that have come away from the wall, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on natural slate, clay and concrete tiles and lead flashings alike.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. From the street you see only a parapet wall, so blocked outlets and split linings go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling. If your home in Tottenham Green has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Common questions in Tottenham Green
Is drone flying allowed in Tottenham Green?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. 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. Every London address is checked against them before a flight. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Tottenham Green?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available as you book.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How do I book a survey in Tottenham Green?
Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In Tottenham Green, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- You tell us the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the loft space where there is safe access.
- We email a written report with photographs and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
How to book
We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

What a roof survey looks like in Tottenham Green
The wider area around Tottenham Green has a long history of building, with Bruce Castle about 0.9 miles north. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. From the street you may see only a parapet, with a butterfly roof and a valley gutter behind it draining to the back. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you let a flat or house near Seven Sisters station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you live in an older home near Church of Holy Trinity, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Shop and office owners around The Mall Wood Green may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

What affects the cost of roof surveys
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Which survey package you book
- House, block, shop or office
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The size of the roof
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Mention any damp patches as you book
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
Leave it or get it looked at?
By the time water marks a ceiling, it is often been getting in for a while. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. London’s older roofs often have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
