Upper Street Roof Survey
Roof surveys in Upper Street from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Leaning or weathered chimney stacks
- Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
Why act early in Upper Street
A small roof defect normally gets bigger. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and wet timber starts to decay. Catching it early means less to put right. Older and listed buildings around Upper Street may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Upper Street
Across London and South East England, roofs differ widely. A Victorian or Edwardian terrace may have slate, a central valley gutter and parapet walls, while many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Older tiled homes may have clay plain tiles, and many homes have a flat-roofed extension too. Every part gets the attention it needs. We survey chimney stacks, natural slate and ridges, hips and valleys, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings that have come away from the wall and debris building up in roof valleys.
Older buildings in small places like Upper Street may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Keep a record of damp patches and dates
Your report arrives by email. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Each finding is set out in plain English, with recommendations.
Every so often, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Photograph anything new.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
What we do, step by step
It helps 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. Most visits take an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older roofs in small places like Upper Street can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the roof space and from the roof where safe.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, and photograph what we find.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Leave side gates unlocked

Upper Street questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Upper Street?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Upper Street is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Street?
Yes, Upper Street is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
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 we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Is a roof survey the same as a structural survey?
No. Our survey looks at the condition of the roof, and Standard and Premium include structural checks. It does not include structural calculations, which need an engineer.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Report times depend on the package.
Roof surveys around Upper Street
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. The wider area around Upper Street has a long history of building, with Breamore House about 0.5 miles north-east. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Breamore Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
