Project journey

Understand the property before planning the work

Every successful project starts with the property. Before recommending a repair, refurbishment or wider programme of work, ER Group London reviews the property context, visible condition, access, known constraints and the information already available.

Some enquiries can move forward from photographs, drawings and a clear scope. Others need a closer inspection before the right route can be confirmed, especially where roof defects, older fabric, concealed conditions, access or professional-team requirements may affect the work.

The process is designed to keep assumptions visible. Inspection limits, exclusions, sequencing, client decisions, specialist trade boundaries and possible opening-up findings should be made clear before delivery begins.

Delivery is then planned around coordination, property protection, regular communication, workmanship checks and an orderly handover.

Roofing consultation and project information being reviewed

From first review to handover

A clear route from the reported problem to the agreed roofing scope

Step 01
Enquiry

The property location, roofing or refurbishment requirement, project stage, approximate timing and available information are reviewed before the next step is agreed.

Step 02
Consultation

A focused discussion covers priorities, known defects, property context, access, professional-team involvement and the decisions needed before the proposed roofing or refurbishment work can proceed.

Step 03
Inspection Where Needed

Where appropriate, the visible condition of affected areas, relevant materials, access and practical constraints are reviewed, with any inspection limitations recorded.

Step 04
Proposal

The proposal records the roofing or refurbishment work, assumptions, exclusions, sequencing, commercial terms and decisions required before delivery.

Step 05
Delivery

The agreed work is coordinated around site setup, property protection, sequencing, communication, other trades, weather exposure where relevant and appropriate quality checks.

Step 06
Handover & Aftercare

Completion addresses handover, outstanding items, relevant follow-up and maintenance information where it forms part of the agreed project.

Before you enquire

A few details help us understand the project

A short outline of the property, the roofing or refurbishment work and any existing plans or reports is enough to begin the conversation.

Property Address

The address or postcode helps confirm coverage, property context and likely access considerations.

Current Photographs

Photographs of the roof, affected areas or visible problem can provide useful context before a visit.

Known Issue or Planned Work

A short description of the roofing issue, affected area, visible defect or planned refurbishment work helps us understand the enquiry.

Project Timing

An indication of timing helps us understand the wider programme and any important dependencies.

Project Team

Let us know if an architect, designer, surveyor, estate manager or project manager is already involved.

Plans or Reports

Drawings, reports or specifications help us understand how the roofing or refurbishment work connects with the wider project.

Access Considerations

Scaffolding, parking, neighbouring property, occupied rooms and access routes can be useful to identify early.

Property Status

Tell us if the property is listed, in a conservation area, period, high-value, occupied, managed or part of a wider refurbishment.

Project Type

Tell us whether the enquiry concerns specialist roofing, property refurbishment, heritage work, leadwork, roof inspection or a wider design-led project.

Our expertise

Specialist roofing and refurbishment with a planned approach

ER Group London is best suited to private-home projects where the property, detailing, access, sequencing and finish quality need careful handling.

Large Residential Roofing Projects

Carefully planned roofing for substantial private homes and complex roof forms.

Coordinated Property Refurbishment

Coordinated refurbishment where multiple trades, property protection, sequencing and client decisions need to be managed as one agreed programme.

Heritage & Conservation-Sensitive Work

Roofing planned around existing fabric, traditional materials and architectural character.

Leadwork and Roof Junctions

Detailed weathering work around flashings, valleys, gutters, chimneys, parapets and abutments.

Our Work

See documented roofing and refurbishment projects delivered across a range of residential settings.

Early Project Review

The property, proposed work, access and timing are discussed early so both sides understand the project requirements.

Planning notes

What to expect during review

What happens during the consultation?

The discussion covers the property, the roofing or refurbishment work being considered, access, priorities, project-team involvement and the most useful next step.

Does every enquiry need a site inspection?

No. Some enquiries can be reviewed from photographs, drawings and a clear description. Others need an inspection before a sensible proposal can be prepared.

Can every hidden issue be identified during an inspection?

No. A visible inspection can identify observable condition and constraints in accessible affected areas, but concealed defects may only become apparent through opening-up or further investigation.

What does the proposal clarify?

The proposal sets out the roofing or refurbishment work, recommended approach, materials where relevant, practical arrangements, assumptions, exclusions and decisions needed before work begins.

How are changes handled once work starts?

Where opening-up or site conditions reveal something that affects the agreed scope, the issue should be explained and the next decision agreed before additional work proceeds.

Can ER Group London work with my architect, surveyor or designer?

Yes. Where appointed professionals are involved, project information, observations and delivery decisions can be coordinated through the agreed route while professional responsibilities remain clear.

Delivery principles

How the agreed work is managed on site

Defined Scope

The agreed work, assumptions, exclusions and decision points should remain visible throughout the project.

Property Protection

Access routes, occupied areas, gardens, interiors and finished surfaces are considered before work begins.

Sequencing

Roofing, refurbishment and supporting trades are planned in the order needed to protect the property and final finish.

Communication

Progress, discovered conditions and decisions are communicated through the agreed contacts.

Quality Checks

Relevant details are reviewed at suitable stages before they become difficult to inspect.

Handover

Completion, outstanding items, maintenance points and aftercare information are addressed where relevant to the agreed scope.

Next Steps

Start with a conversation about the property

Tell us where the property is, the roofing or refurbishment work being considered and whether any drawings, reports, photographs or advisers are already involved.
