Professional Roof Surveys Backed by 33 Years of Experience
With over three decades of practical roofing experience, we provide specialist roof condition surveys throughout Hackney Wick for residential, commercial and mixed-use developments.
Our inspections utilise advanced drone technology to safely assess roof coverings, leadwork, flashings, drainage systems, flat roofs, roof terraces and associated roof details. This allows us to identify defects, maintenance requirements and future liabilities without the need for immediate access equipment.
Every survey is supported by a professional roof report, providing clear observations, photographic evidence and recommendations designed to help clients make informed property decisions.

Why Choose Our Roof Condition Surveys in Hackney Wick?
Many roofing defects remain hidden until significant damage occurs. Water ingress, defective waterproofing systems, ageing roof coverings and poor historic repairs can often go unnoticed during a standard property inspection.
Our specialist roof surveys focus entirely on the roof and are designed to provide a detailed understanding of its condition. We assess all accessible roofing elements and provide independent advice based upon practical roofing experience.
Hackney Wick features a distinctive mix of converted industrial buildings, warehouse developments, canal-side properties, apartment complexes and commercial premises. These properties often incorporate flat roofing systems, roof terraces, metal roofing and specialist waterproofing systems that require experienced assessment.

✔ Review of customer feedback and independent online reviews
✔ Trade accreditations and professional memberships

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

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
Our surveys provide property owners and buyers with a detailed understanding of the roof's condition and any potential maintenance liabilities.
Using high-resolution drone imagery, we assess inaccessible roof areas, identify defects and evaluate the overall performance of the roofing system. Findings are presented within a comprehensive roof report together with recommendations for repairs, maintenance or replacement where required.
Whether you own a converted warehouse overlooking the canal, a modern apartment development near Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park or a commercial property within Hackney Wick, our surveys provide valuable insight into the condition of the roof.
Don't Exchange Contracts Until You Know the Condition of the Roof
Independent Roof inspections, drone
surveys and professional roof reports for
homebuyers in Hackney wick
The roof is often one of the most expensive building elements to repair or replace, yet it frequently receives limited attention during the property purchasing process.
Many HomeBuyers Reports and building surveys do not include a detailed roof inspection, particularly where access is restricted. Our specialist pre-purchase roof surveys are designed to provide buyers with a far clearer understanding of the roof's condition before exchange of contracts.
Across Hackney Wick, we regularly identify ageing waterproofing systems, defective flat roofs, drainage issues, failed flashings, water ingress, deteriorated roof terraces and historic repairs that have reached the end of their service life.
Understanding these issues before purchasing can help buyers negotiate effectively, budget accurately and avoid unexpected roofing costs after completion.

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.
