About our landlord roof survey in Bexleyheath
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Bexleyheath and the rest of London and the South East. A visit normally takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen, and by drone where it’s applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you are worried about slipped or missing slates and tiles and blocked gutters over flats, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, where the roof is normally a shared part of the building. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it’s in and what work is coming up. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. A report gives everyone the same picture to plan from, with photographs.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

What we’re asked to look at in Bexleyheath
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
If you let a flat or house near Bexleyheath station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Bexleyheath
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Bexleyheath station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How do I find out if my home in Bexleyheath is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when you book.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:

To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that’s hard to see. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner and the report helps with that.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Bexleyheath
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so the back of the roof is often seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when booking.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
Book a survey
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Bexleyheath
Outer London has a good many Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With Red House about 0.4 miles south-west, Bexleyheath sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Shop and office owners around Broadway Shopping Centre may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. The streets around a church such as Trinity Baptist Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
