Cubitt Town Landlord Roof Survey
We take a careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Cubitt Town, with photographs and a written report.
- Leaks into upper flats
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Standing water on a flat roof
Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
About our landlord roof survey in Cubitt Town
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. If you are worried about splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and damp or stains in top-floor flats, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. For a house in Cubitt Town with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Cubitt Town
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.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Arrange flat access beforehand
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Left alone, minor faults usually get worse.
Why it is worth a survey now in Cubitt Town
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. When the stain finally shows, the damage underneath is often older than it looks.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Landlord roof surveys around Cubitt Town
About 1.1 miles south lies Queen's House, a reminder of how long the area around Cubitt Town has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, 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. Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. From the street you may see only a parapet, with a butterfly roof and a valley gutter behind it draining to the back. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
The streets around a church like Christ Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Shop and office owners around Surrey Quays Shopping Centre may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. If you own a rental within reach of Canary Wharf station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Cubitt Town questions
Is parking a problem for a survey in Cubitt Town?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Canary Wharf station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when booking.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Roof area
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- What made you get in touch
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
How the survey works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey typically takes between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In Cubitt Town, as in much of London, lots of properties are flats or terraces without 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. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents as you book.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
