About our landlord roof survey in Bedford Park
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. The findings come in a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. We survey blocks of flats, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and people most often book us about damaged pots and flaunching and worn ridges, hips and verges.
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. In Bedford Park, as across London, that is why a roof needs a close look rather than a glance from the street. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a proper look too.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Booking your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Anything about access we should know
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
FAQs for Bedford Park
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Bedford Park?
It depends on the street. If Bedford Park has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bedford Park?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No. The lease typically decides who is responsible, and that’s a legal question. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Do you look in the roof space?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
How do I book a survey in Bedford Park?
Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
It helps to know what a survey won’t do before booking:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.

- Gutters and downpipes
- Blocks of flats
- Rented houses
- Shared roofs
- Converted houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
How the survey works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a London conversion, the way into the roof space is frequently 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.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Bedford Park homes and their roofs
Hogarth's House, about 0.9 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bedford Park. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Outer London has plenty of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For landlords with property near South Acton station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you live in an older home near St Peter's, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Bedford Park?
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
If you look after a building like Southfield Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
