The service
What the Free Survey Includes
Every Essex RoofCare job starts with a free, no-obligation roof survey. Stuart inspects your roof, roofline and, where needed, the loft, then explains what he's found and gives you a clear written quote.
It's for anyone with a roof concern, from a single slipped tile to a suspected full re-roof, and for buyers and sellers who need to understand a surveyor's comments.
Book one when you notice a problem, when your roof is getting older, or after a storm.
An honest survey saves money. One customer was told their flat roof looked good and wasn't a concern: exactly the kind of straight answer the survey is for.
The risk
The Risk of Guessing
Without a proper survey, you're paying for guesswork.
Paying for the wrong fix
Fixing a symptom leaves the cause in place.
Missing hidden damage
Problems out of sight get worse.
Surprise extras
Vague quotes lead to unexpected costs mid-job.
Over-selling
Without a clear diagnosis, it's hard to know if a re-roof is really needed.
Common mistakes homeowners make
- Accepting a quote given over the phone.
- Not asking what's included in a quote.
- Choosing purely on price.
- Waiting for a leak before getting the roof checked.

What We Check
Survey scope depends on the roof and safe access; these are areas that may need assessment.
Tiles and slates
Cracks, slips, porosity and missing pieces.
Ridges, hips and verges
Mortar condition and fixings.
Chimneys and flashings
Pointing, pots and lead.
Flat roofs
Membrane, edges, ponding and drainage.
Roofline
Fascias, soffits and guttering.
Loft
Felt, battens, timbers and signs of water, where access allows.
Buying or selling a house
If a homebuyer's survey has flagged the roof, a free roofing survey tells you what the comments actually mean, whether the work is urgent, and what it's likely to involve, so you can negotiate or plan with real information.
Free Roof Surveys & Quotes near you
Based in Great Easton, we carry out free roof surveys & quotes for homeowners across Essex, North London and Hertfordshire, including:
Roofs across the region face the same mix of wind-driven rain, cold snaps and summer heat, but the housing stock varies a lot, from clay-tiled cottages around Great Dunmow and Saffron Walden to slate-roofed Victorian terraces in Walthamstow and Enfield, and post-war homes with concrete tiles and flat-roofed extensions in Chelmsford, Braintree and Romford. Knowing which roofs are common where helps diagnose problems faster and specify repairs that match.

How to Choose a Roofer for Free Roof Surveys & Quotes
Before you agree to any free roof surveys & quotes work in Essex, North London or Hertfordshire, check these points, whoever you choose.
Has someone actually looked at the roof?
Ask how the roof will be assessed and what is included in the quotation.
Is the quote in writing?
A written quote sets out what's being done and the price, so there's no argument halfway through the job.
Are they insured?
Roof work happens at height above your home. Ask for public liability cover; Essex RoofCare carries £2,000,000.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Ask what's covered and for how long. New roofs and flat roofs from Essex RoofCare carry a 10-year guarantee; repair guarantees depend on the job and are stated in the quote.
How much experience do they have?
Diagnosing roofs is learned on roofs. Stuart has 30 years of hands-on experience.
Will they tell you if you don't need the work?
A good roofer will tell you when a repair is enough, or when nothing needs doing at all.
On the day
What to Expect When We Arrive
Work is carried out Monday to Friday, between 8am and 5pm. You'll know the scope and price before the team arrives, because it's all in the written quote you accepted after the survey.
Discuss access, safety and any disruption before work starts. Requirements depend on the roof and the work being carried out.
Selected supplied testimonials describe individual customer experiences of workmanship and tidiness. Agree site arrangements and clearance as part of the proposed work.
When the work is finished, you'll be told what's been done. Where photos help explain a problem or a finished repair, they can be shared with you. Payment is by direct bank transfer.
Materials we work with
Essex RoofCare works with tile, slate, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and felt. That covers pitched roofs and flat roofs on houses, bungalows, extensions, garages, porches and outbuildings. Where a repair needs to match the existing roof, matching tiles or slates are sourced wherever possible so the work blends in.
Residential focus
Essex RoofCare is a residential roofing company. The business provides installations, repairs and roofline services for homeowners.
