Know which roof defects need attention now and which can be planned into a maintenance programme. KC Roofing & Scaffolding Ltd carries out roof condition surveys for homeowners, landlords, managing agents and commercial property owners across East London, North London and Essex.

What we inspect

The scope is agreed for your building and the access available. We assess visible roof coverings, flashings, valleys, ridges, chimneys, parapets, outlets and guttering, together with signs of water entry or deterioration. Where access allows, we consider roof junctions and details that are often missed from ground level.

• Photographs showing the inspected areas and identifiable defects.
• A written condition report explaining the findings in plain language.
• A defect schedule and suggested priorities for repairs or maintenance.
• Practical recommendations, with further investigation flagged where needed.
• A clear record of inspection limitations and inaccessible areas.

Drone and physical inspection

Drone imagery can help assess high or difficult roof areas without erecting access equipment solely for a visual inspection. Flights depend on weather, permissions and safe operation. Physical inspection is used where appropriate and safe access is available. Neither method can confirm concealed defects without further investigation.

How to book

1. Send the property address, postcode, roof type and reason for the survey.
2. Tell us about known leaks, previous repairs and any access restrictions.
3. We agree the scope, fee, access arrangements and report timetable before attendance.
4. We inspect, document the findings and explain the recommended next steps.

Useful for planning and purchasing

A survey can support planned maintenance, budgeting and discussions about proposed repairs. If you are buying a property, ask for our specialist pre-purchase roof assessment. It complements a wider property survey; it is not a mortgage valuation or a full structural investigation.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as a free quotation?

No. A written condition survey is a paid reporting service. A quotation sets out the price and scope of proposed works. We confirm the survey fee before booking.

Will every part of the roof be inspected?

We identify what can be viewed safely and document any limitations. Concealed structure, inaccessible areas and defects beneath coverings may require specialist access or opening-up work.

Can you carry out the recommended repairs?

We can provide a separate quotation for suitable roofing and scaffolding works. The report explains the findings so you can decide how to proceed.
