Broadfields Estate Landlord Roof Survey
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in Broadfields Estate, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Flashings that have come away
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In Broadfields Estate, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Getting a price
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.

Landlord roof survey in Broadfields Estate
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out seven days a week, which can make access easier to arrange. We are often asked to look into blocked gutters over flats and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, across converted houses, blocks of flats and shared roofs.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, so roofs are frequently shared between several households. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it’s in and what work is coming up. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. With a written report and photos, everyone can plan from the same facts.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Broadfields Estate questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Broadfields Estate?
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.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Broadfields Estate?
Sometimes, yes. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Is Broadfields Estate in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, Broadfields Estate included.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
It is useful to keep a 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.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Broadfields Estate
Historic houses such as Headstone Manor, about 4.1 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Broadfields Estate goes. 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. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Broadfields Estate is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For landlords with property near Mill Hill Broadway station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Trees in and around Edgwarebury Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.

Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
What we’re asked to look at in Broadfields Estate
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time, especially on taller buildings.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Flashings that have come away
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
Shop and office owners around Broadwalk Centre may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the report takes to arrive

- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
