Common questions in Angell Town
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Angell Town?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Loughborough Junction station?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it is agreed before booking.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Angell Town
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey blocks of flats, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are cracked or lifting flashings and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails often give out first and let slates slip. Homes in Angell Town are no exception. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a careful look too.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Why get it checked now?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. London’s older roofs frequently have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the exact price before you book.
Why us?
- Surveys on weekdays and at weekends
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- A written report with photographs

What this survey can’t tell you
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Shared roofs
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
- Rented houses
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Angell Town
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St John the Evangelist, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Landlord roof surveys around Angell Town
With Buckingham Palace about 2.6 miles north-west, Angell Town sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that can’t be seen from the pavement. In a house like that, shared stacks, party-wall upstands and lead flashings all need looking at as far as they can be seen. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Homes near green spaces such as Max Roach Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you own a rental within reach of Loughborough Junction station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
