Landlord roof survey in Crooked Billet
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. If you’ve noticed damaged pots and flaunching and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it.
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. If your home in Crooked Billet has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
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.

Roof by roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily leaving water standing. They’re checked during the survey.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we look at them closely.
Crooked Billet questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Raynes Park station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Crooked Billet listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Crooked Billet?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before you book, based on the roof’s size, access and package. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Tell tenants when we are coming
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Crooked Billet
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Southside House, about 0.5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Crooked Billet. 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.
If you live near a park such as Cannizaro Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Take an older house close to Christ Church: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

How it works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. From the street, a London terrace typically shows only its front slope or parapet, so a visit in Crooked Billet moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Find any records of previous roof work
Booking a survey
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
When to book a survey in Crooked Billet
Older buildings across London and South East England 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.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Damaged pots and flaunching
Take a building like Wimbledon College: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
