Landlord roof survey in Brasted, Greater London
Landlord roof surveys in Brasted, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Landlord roof survey in Brasted: what you get
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. If you’ve noticed missing or loose roof coverings and standing water on a flat roof, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, frequently with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. In Brasted, as across London, that is why a roof needs a proper look rather than a glance from the street. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a close look too.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected where it is safe to see them.
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. We note what we see from inside.
When to book a survey in Brasted
On a shared roof, it is not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
We are often asked to look at:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
For landlords with property near Dunton Green station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Which limits apply to the survey
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Brasted
About 1.5 miles south-west lies Quebec House, a reminder of how long the area around Brasted has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Martin are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Combe Bank School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Brasted
How do I find out if my home in Brasted 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, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Dunton Green station?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.

What else we do in Brasted
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It usually takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. 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 scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
