Landlord roof survey in Bulls Cross: what you get
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We do not give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. We survey rented houses, gutters and downpipes and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are worn ridges, hips and verges and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings.
In a village or hamlet like Bulls Cross, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
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.

When to book a survey in Bulls Cross
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
If you own a rental within reach of Turkey Street station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Are they insured for the work?
- What exactly goes into their report
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere like Bulls Cross needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Why get it checked now?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Bulls Cross
Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Forty Hall, about 0.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bulls Cross. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
The streets around a church such as Jesus Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Capel Manor Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
