Landlord roof survey in Crown Wood: what you get
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. We survey flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or leaning shared chimneys and blocked gutters over flats.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Crown Wood drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from the ground.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Around Crown Wood, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Crown Wood
Will you come out to Crown Wood?
Yes. Crown Wood is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
My home in Crown Wood has a flat-roofed garage or porch. Is it worth having that looked at?
Yes, if you’d like it included, mention it as you book. Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos, so a specialist asbestos surveyor should check before they’re disturbed.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Is this survey just for landlords?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
How do I book a survey in Crown Wood?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. Surveys run seven days a week.

Useful tips for Crown Wood property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Give residents notice before a survey
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Local roofs in Crown Wood
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Paul, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For landlords with property near Martins Heron station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you run a business near The Lexicon, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
