Landlord Roof Survey in Bush Hill
Landlord roof surveys in Bush Hill, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. On timing, it usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a visit in Bush Hill, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets in another room
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Book a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bush Hill
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Bush Hill and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site typically takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen including by drone where it applies. A written report with photos follows. We survey flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters overflowing onto walls and flashings that have come away.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. Homes in Bush Hill are no exception. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important 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.

Landlord roof surveys in Bush Hill: local notes
Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Bush Hill is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. With Forty Hall about 2.1 miles north, Bush Hill sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Shop and office owners around Edmonton Green Shopping Centre may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. Take a building like Grange Park Preparatory School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Living close to Enfield Town Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Bush Hill is about 1 mile south of Enfield, in Greater London. Wherever you are in Bush Hill, we can carry out landlord roof surveys at your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. We cover towns and villages across Greater London. For surveys nearby, see our London page.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets frequently clog leaving water standing. They’re checked during the survey.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access and note what couldn’t be seen.
What we cannot see
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report

Surveys for landlords and agents in Bush Hill
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Bush Hill: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Bush Hill is listed?
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.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Bush Hill?
Parking in Bush Hill, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when booking.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No, it focuses on the roof. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey and doesn’t replace a structural engineer’s report.
How much time does the visit need?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site and larger buildings take longer.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
