Honest limits

- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Dagenham Green
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We look at the roof from each safe vantage point including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. If you’ve noticed blocked gutters over flats and ponding or splits on flat roofs, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and downpipes, converted houses and rented houses alike.
Much of London’s housing is flats, in converted houses or purpose-built blocks, where the roof is normally a shared part of the building. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it’s in and what work is coming up, in Dagenham Green as anywhere. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. A report gives everyone the same picture to plan from, with photos.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Dagenham Green
The wider area around Dagenham Green has a long history of building, with Rainham Hall about 1.9 miles east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Dagenham Green is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you own a rental within reach of Dagenham Dock station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you look after a building such as Marsh Green Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Martin's Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Deal with urgent items first
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a London area like Dagenham Green, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space and from the roof where it is safe.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
Leave it or get it looked at?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Dagenham Green questions
I let a flat near Dagenham Dock station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Is my home in Dagenham Green listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is Dagenham Green in your area?
Yes, we do. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Dagenham Green, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. We’ll confirm the timing when booking.
