About our landlord roof survey in Bricket Wood
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Bricket Wood and the rest of London and South East England. A visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely, and by drone where it’s applicable. A written report with photos follows. If you’re worried about missing or loose roof coverings and damaged pots and flaunching, we can find out what’s behind it, on shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats alike.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Bricket Wood drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
