About our roof survey in West Green
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. We check the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it is relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. If you’ve noticed debris building up in roof valleys and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, we can find out what’s behind it, on natural slate, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles alike.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, where the roof is usually a shared part of the building. 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. With a written report and photos, everyone can plan from the same facts.
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.

How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. In West Green, as in much of London, a good many properties are flats or terraces without side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, let us know when booking.
- You pick the package that suits your roof.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- 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.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Our chimney check is a visual inspection of the stack, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. If a specialist is needed, we will say so.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted, particularly at the verges and ridge.
Landlords, agents and block managers in West Green
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Do not climb onto the roof yourself
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
Any roofer you ask to quote can work from the report. The photos show what we found and where, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
West Green questions
Is parking a problem for a survey in West Green?
Sometimes, yes. If West Green has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer, and a driveway is even better.
Can a landlord with a rental near Seven Sisters station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Will you climb onto the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the roof space where there is safe access. You get a written report with photographs and recommendations.
Can you inspect a terraced or semi-detached roof?
Yes, we can. We inspect what the owner gives us access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we’ll say so.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Roof surveys around West Green
The wider area around West Green has a long history of building, with Bruce Castle about 1.1 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. Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces frequently have Welsh slate roofs. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that cannot be seen from the pavement. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Landlords with a home close to Seven Sisters station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Mall Wood Green, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Philip the Apostle, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
