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

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.

Drone and Expert Roof Inspections You Can Trust
Accurate Roof Condition Assessments for Every Property

The result is a comprehensive roof report that highlights defects, identifies maintenance requirements and provides practical recommendations for future action.
Whether you own a family home near Victoria Park, a period property close to Roman Road or an investment property in Bow, our reports help you make informed decisions with confidence.
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.
Many property buyers are surprised to discover significant roofing defects after completion, despite having commissioned a HomeBuyers Report or building survey.
Whilst general surveys can provide useful information about a property's overall condition, roof inspections are often limited and may not reveal hidden defects. Our specialist pre-purchase roof surveys focus specifically on the roof, allowing us to identify issues that may otherwise remain undiscovered.
In Bow, we regularly identify defects such as ageing roof coverings, deteriorated leadwork, defective valleys, water ingress, poorly executed repairs and maintenance issues that were not fully highlighted in previous surveys.
The cost of repairs can range from a few hundred pounds to many thousands, making a professional roof survey a valuable investment before exchange of contracts. Understanding the true condition of the roof allows buyers to negotiate with confidence, budget accurately and avoid unexpected costs after purchase.

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.
