Facts, Not Guesswork
A proper inspection replaces assumptions with an honest, documented assessment — here’s who typically books one.
Buying a property
Know the roof's real condition before you commit, so there are no expensive surprises after completion.
Selling a property
Address any issues proactively, or provide buyers with a clear condition report to support your asking price.
Landlords & letting agents
Periodic condition checks help catch issues early, before they become tenant complaints or larger repair bills.
General peace of mind
An ageing roof with no obvious problems yet is still worth a proper look, especially before winter.
Four Ways We Inspect a Roof
The right method depends on access, roof pitch, and what you actually need the report for.
Visual & Photo Inspection
A methodical visual check of every roof surface, safely accessed, with full photo documentation of anything noted.
Drone Survey
High-resolution aerial photo and video coverage of the whole roof, without anyone walking on it — ideal for steep pitches, tall buildings or roofs where scaffold access isn't justified.
Moisture & Damp Check
A check of loft timbers and insulation for signs of damp or water ingress that might not yet be visible from outside.
Written Report & Recommendations
A clear written report covering condition, photos of any issues, and honest recommendations ranked by priority — with no obligation to book any of it.
Roof Inspections on Hackney's Housing Stock
Hackney’s property types shape what a survey here typically covers.
A Substantial Rental Market
Hackney has one of London's largest private rental sectors — periodic roof condition checks for landlords and managing agents are a regular part of our work here.
An Active Property Market
Hackney's popular terrace market sees plenty of buying and selling activity, driving regular pre-purchase inspections.
Converted Warehouse Space
Converted Victorian warehouses used as offices and studios often need condition reports for landlords, insurers or lease obligations.

Inspections across the full borough, from Dalston and Hackney Central out to Stoke Newington, Homerton and Clapton.

An important note on scope:
This is a roofing specialist's condition report, not a substitute for a formal RICS Home Survey or a structural engineer's report where one is specifically required — for example, by a mortgage lender as part of a property purchase. If your situation requires a regulated survey type, please check with your lender, conveyancer or solicitor about what's needed before relying on this report alone.

We report what we find — you're never pressured to book repair work with us as a condition of getting an honest report.

The number you're quoted to book is the number you pay. No extras added afterward.
Drone technology available
Full aerial coverage for roofs that are steep, high, or where scaffold access isn't justified for a one-off inspection.

What Hackney Homeowners Say
Dalston · Pre-Purchase Inspection
“Booked before exchanging on a Victorian terrace. Report flagged a couple of things to negotiate on, and confirmed the roof itself was in decent shape. Genuinely useful, no pressure to book work with them.”
Hackney Central · Roof Condition Report, Management Company
“Roof pitch was too steep to walk safely. Drone survey gave a clearer view than a physical inspection probably would have, and saved the cost of scaffold for what turned out to be a routine check.”
Stoke Newington · Landlord Periodic Check
“Get all four rental properties checked annually now. Report same day each time, and it’s caught two small issues before they became tenant complaints.”
Roof Inspection in Hackney, Answered
A summary of the roof's overall condition, photos of anything noted, and recommendations ranked by priority — from "monitor" through to "needs attention soon." You'll also get an honest estimate of remaining roof lifespan where that's a reasonable call to make.
No — this is a fair question and worth addressing directly. The report reflects what we actually find. There's no obligation to book any follow-up work with us, and a genuinely sound roof gets reported as exactly that.
For overall condition and visible defects, a drone survey often gives clearer, more complete coverage than someone walking the roof, especially on steep or complex roofs. It's not a substitute for close-up physical checks of specific areas like flashing joints, which we'll flag if needed.
This is a roofing specialist's condition report, not a formal RICS Home Survey or structural engineer's report. If your lender or conveyancer specifically requires a regulated survey type, please confirm with them what's needed — this report is best used as supplementary information, not a replacement.
