Landlord roof survey in Bush Hill Park
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told in advance. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you’re worried about flashings that have come away and chimney stacks in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it, on gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks alike.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, so roofs are frequently shared between several households. Whoever looks after the building needs a clear picture of the roof, chimneys and gutters. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. A report gives everyone the same picture to plan from, with photos.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

How the survey changes by roof type

Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. We give them close attention.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded as far as safe access allows.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Before and after the survey
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Deal with urgent items first
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Bush Hill Park
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 Park 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. Forty Hall, about 1.9 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bush Hill Park. 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 the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Living close to Enfield Town Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Shop and office owners around Edmonton Green Shopping Centre may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Bush Hill Park?
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause, as far as can be seen.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
Anyone responsible for a site like The Raglan Junior School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
What to check before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Their report turnaround times
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
Questions from Bush Hill Park
Can a landlord with a rental near Bush Hill Park station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How do I find out if my home in Bush Hill Park is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when booking.
How do I book a survey in Bush Hill Park?
Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. The report is sent afterwards by email.
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: 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. The visit usually takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so the back of the roof is often seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, let us know when you book.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Book a survey

Advice
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
