Professional Roof Surveys Backed by 33 Years of Experience
For more than three decades, we have inspected and assessed roofs across London, helping homeowners, landlords and investors understand the condition of their properties before committing to major financial decisions.
Our independent roof surveys in Islington combine practical roofing knowledge with modern drone technology to assess roof coverings, flashings, leadwork, drainage systems and associated roof details. Every inspection is supported by a professional roof report containing photographic evidence and clear recommendations.
Why Choose Our Roof Condition Surveys in Islington?
Property owners often rely on standard building surveys, only to discover costly roofing issues later. Our dedicated roof surveys focus entirely on the roof, allowing us to identify concerns that may otherwise remain unnoticed.
Every inspection is tailored to the property and includes a detailed review of roof coverings, chimneys, parapet walls, valleys, gutters, leadwork and flat roofing systems. We provide practical advice, photographic documentation and an independent assessment of the roof's overall condition.
Islington is home to a wide range of Victorian terraces, Georgian townhouses, mansion blocks, apartment developments and commercial buildings. Each property type presents its own roofing challenges, requiring specialist knowledge and experience to assess correctly.

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.

Our roof surveys are designed to provide clarity and confidence when making property decisions. Using drone technology and expert visual inspections, we assess the condition of key roofing elements and identify defects before they develop into more significant issues.
Whether you own a period property in Canonbury, a Georgian townhouse in Barnsbury, a Victorian terrace in Highbury or a commercial building near Angel, our surveys provide valuable insight into the condition of the roof and any remedial 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 often one of the most expensive parts of a property to repair, yet it is frequently one of the least thoroughly assessed during the home-buying process.
Many building surveys provide only a limited visual overview of the roof, meaning defects can remain hidden until after completion. Our specialist pre-purchase roof surveys focus specifically on identifying roofing defects and assessing the overall condition of the roof.
Across Islington, we regularly identify issues including ageing roof coverings, deteriorated leadwork, defective drainage systems, water ingress, failed flashings and historic repairs that were not fully highlighted within previous reports.
Understanding these issues before exchange of contracts allows buyers to budget accurately, negotiate where appropriate and avoid unexpected roofing costs after moving into the property.

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.
