Professional Roof Surveys Backed by 33 Years of Experience
With over three decades of practical roofing knowledge, we provide specialist roof condition surveys throughout Leyton for homeowners, landlords, property investors, managing agents and commercial property owners.
Our surveys combine modern drone inspection technology with extensive roofing expertise, allowing us to assess roof coverings, chimneys, flashings, valleys, leadwork, parapet walls, flat roofs and drainage systems safely and efficiently. Every survey is supported by a detailed roof report that includes photographic evidence, observations and practical recommendations.
Whether your property is modern or traditional, our aim is to provide a clear understanding of the roof's current condition and any future maintenance requirements.
Why Choose Our Roof Condition Surveys in Leyton?
Many roofing problems develop gradually over time and often remain hidden until water penetration, dampness or internal damage becomes visible. Our specialist roof inspections focus entirely on the roof, allowing us to identify defects before they become costly repairs.
Every roof survey includes a detailed review of the property's roofing system, helping identify issues such as ageing roof coverings, defective flashings, deteriorated leadwork, blocked gutters, drainage issues and signs of water ingress.
Leyton contains a broad mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian family homes, modern developments, apartment buildings and commercial premises. These properties often require specialist roofing knowledge to accurately assess their condition and identify future maintenance requirements.

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 can represent one of the largest future expenses associated with a property purchase, yet it is often one of the least thoroughly inspected areas during the buying process.
Whilst HomeBuyers Reports and standard building surveys provide a useful overview of a property's condition, many surveyors are unable to access the roof and are often restricted to observations from ground level. This can result in significant roofing defects remaining unidentified.
Across Leyton, we regularly inspect properties where important roofing issues have either been missed or underestimated within previous survey reports. Common defects include ageing roof coverings, deteriorated valleys, defective leadwork, failed flat roofs, blocked drainage systems, storm damage and poor-quality historic repairs.
Almost every pre-purchase roof survey we undertake identifies defects requiring attention, ranging from relatively minor maintenance works to major roofing projects costing many thousands of pounds.
By understanding the true condition of the roof before exchange of contracts, 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.
