Professional Roof Surveys Backed by 33 Years of Experience
With more than three decades of roofing experience, we specialise in providing independent roof surveys for residential and commercial properties throughout Highbury.
Our inspections combine practical roofing knowledge with modern drone technology, allowing us to assess roof coverings, chimneys, leadwork, flashings, gutters and drainage systems in detail. Every survey is supported by a comprehensive roof report containing photographic evidence, observations and professional recommendations.
Why Choose Our Roof Condition Surveys in Highbury?
Many roofing defects remain hidden for years before becoming obvious signs of water penetration or structural deterioration. Our specialist roof surveys are designed to identify these issues early, helping property owners avoid costly surprises.
Every roof inspection includes a detailed review of the property's roofing elements, enabling us to identify areas requiring repair, maintenance or further investigation. Our reports provide clear findings and practical advice tailored to the property.
Highbury is well known for its attractive Victorian terraces, period conversions, conservation areas and high-value residential properties. These buildings often feature ageing roof coverings, traditional leadwork and historic roof details that require specialist assessment.

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

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 roof condition surveys provide property owners with a detailed understanding of the roof's current condition and future maintenance requirements.

Whether you own a Victorian terrace overlooking Highbury Fields, a period conversion near Highbury Barn or a modern apartment development, our roof surveys provide valuable insight into the condition of the roof and any works that may be required.
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.
The roof is one of the most important parts of any property, yet it is frequently one of the least thoroughly inspected during the purchasing process.
Whilst standard building surveys provide a general overview of a property's condition, many roofing defects can remain undetected without a specialist inspection. Our pre-purchase roof surveys focus specifically on the roof, helping buyers understand the true condition of the property before exchange of contracts.
Throughout Highbury, we regularly identify issues including ageing slate roofs, defective flashings, deteriorated leadwork, blocked drainage systems, water ingress and historic repairs that may not be fully highlighted within a conventional survey.
By understanding these issues before committing to the purchase, buyers can negotiate more 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.
