Landlord roof survey in Bromley: 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, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. Common reasons to book are splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, across gutters and downpipes, rented houses and converted houses.
A London butterfly roof slopes down to a central valley gutter that drains to the back of the house. From the street you see only a parapet wall, so blocked outlets and split linings go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling. For a house in Bromley with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Common questions in Bromley
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near West Ham station?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bromley?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The written report follows by email.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain does not normally stop a survey. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Why act early in Bromley
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, so spending can be spread sensibly. In Bromley, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.

What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photographs. As for time on site, it typically takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is often 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. Otherwise, the visit in Bromley runs like any other.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Landlord roof surveys in Bromley: local notes
About 2.2 miles north-west lies Sutton House, a reminder of how long the area around Bromley has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often 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. Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. If your home in Bromley is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Landlords with a home close to West Ham station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Living close to Bob's Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Bow Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:

- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- House, block, shop or office
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It’s useful to include:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem normally is.
