Our Contractor Vetting Process

Before any roofing contractor is considered, we undertake a comprehensive review process to ensure they meet our standards for quality, reliability and professionalism.

Our contractor checks may include:

✔ Verification of Public Liability and Employers' Liability Insurance
✔ Financial stability and trading history checks
✔ Review of customer feedback and independent online reviews
✔ Trade accreditations and professional memberships
✔ Assessment of relevant roofing experience
✔ Health & Safety compliance procedures
✔ Qualifications, training and competency assessments
✔ References and previous project reviews where required

Only contractors who satisfy our requirements are considered for inclusion within the tender process.

Complete Project Management

Once a contractor has been selected and approved by you, we can continue to manage the roofing project from start to finish.

Our works management service includes:

✔ Contractor liaison and coordination
✔ Review of quotations and specifications
✔ Quality control inspections throughout the project
✔ Progress monitoring and reporting
✔ Health & Safety oversight
✔ Building Regulations guidance where applicable
✔ Management of project documentation
✔ Practical completion inspections
✔ Final quality checks upon completion

Additional Peace of Mind

To provide clients with a single point of contact throughout the project, deposits and stage payments can be administered through our project management service, providing additional transparency, accountability and oversight throughout the works.

Upon satisfactory completion, the appointed roofing contractor will provide a written workmanship guarantee together with any applicable manufacturer warranties and insurance-backed guarantees where available.

Protecting Your Investment

Selecting the wrong contractor can often be more costly than the roofing defect itself. Our contractor selection and project management service has been developed to reduce risk, improve workmanship standards and ensure that roofing works are completed professionally, safely and in accordance with the agreed specification.

Whether you are a homeowner, landlord, property investor or commercial property owner in East London or North London, we help ensure that the right contractor is appointed and that the works identified during your roof survey are delivered to the highest possible standard.

Don't Exchange Contracts Until You Know the Condition of the Roof

Independent Roof inspections, drone 
surveys and professional roof reports for 
homebuyers across East London and North London.

A roof is one of the most expensive components of any property to repair or replace, yet it is often one of the least thoroughly inspected during the home-buying process. Whilst HomeBuyers Reports and building surveys can provide a useful overview of a property's condition, many surveyors do not physically inspect the roof and are often limited to observations made from ground level or visible areas only.

With over 33 years of hands-on roofing experience, we regularly inspect properties throughout East London and North London where significant roofing defects have either been overlooked, underestimated or not identified within a standard building survey. In many cases, our specialist roof condition surveys uncover additional defects, maintenance requirements and repair costs that were not mentioned in the original report.

Using advanced drone roof inspections and detailed roof assessments, we can identify issues such as defective roof coverings, failed leadwork, deteriorated valleys, ageing flat roofs, slipped tiles, water ingress and poor-quality historic repairs that may otherwise go unnoticed.

Almost every pre-purchase roof survey we undertake identifies defects requiring attention, ranging from minor repairs costing a few hundred pounds to major roofing works exceeding £30,000. By understanding the true condition of the roof before exchange of contracts, buyers can make informed decisions, negotiate the purchase price, request remedial works or avoid unexpected roofing costs after completion.

A professional roof survey provides independent expert advice from experienced roofing specialists, helping to ensure that one of the most important parts of the property is properly assessed before you commit to the purchase. Don't take the risk—know exactly what you're buying before you exchange contracts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a roof condition survey cost?
Our domestic roof condition surveys start from £475 + VAT and include a drone roof inspection, photographic evidence and a detailed written roof report. If we subsequently carry out any recommended roofing works, we will deduct £200from the survey fee.

Why should I have a roof survey before buying a property?
A roof is one of the most expensive parts of any property to repair or replace. Our pre-purchase roof surveys help identify hidden defects, maintenance requirements and potential repair costs before exchange of contracts, helping buyers make informed decisions.

Are roof surveys better than a HomeBuyers Survey?
A HomeBuyers Survey provides a general assessment of a property's condition, whereas our specialist roof surveys focus entirely on the roof. In our experience, many roofing defects are either overlooked or only briefly referenced within standard property surveys.

Can a roof survey help me negotiate the purchase price?
Yes. Many of our clients use our roof reports to support negotiations before exchange of contracts. Identifying roofing defects early can potentially save thousands of pounds in unexpected repair costs.

What areas do you cover?
We provide roof condition surveys, drone roof inspections and roof reports throughout East London and North London, including Hackney, Islington, Tower Hamlets, Bethnal Green, Bow, Stratford, Shoreditch, Whitechapel, Canary Wharf and surrounding areas.

What happens if repairs are required?
If defects are identified, we can provide a detailed quotation for the recommended works. We also offer a contractor selection and project management service, helping clients obtain quotations from fully vetted roofing contractors and manage projects through to completion.
