About our landlord roof survey in East Peckham
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We look at the roof from each safe vantage point, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. If you’re worried about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and cracked or lifting flashings, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a small place like East Peckham, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
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.

- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
When to book a survey in East Peckham
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
What to check before booking
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit usually takes an hour or two for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like East Peckham, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- 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.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access, and the report says what was seen.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often last around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. For an older or listed building in a place like East Peckham, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
All our prices include VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
What you get with us
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

East Peckham questions
Is my home in East Peckham listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is East Peckham within the area you cover?
Yes. East Peckham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
That depends on the layout. We may need the roof space and some or all of the top-floor flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We will confirm what we need when you book.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in East Peckham?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Checking the roof from ground level
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Local roofs in East Peckham
With Old Soar Manor about 4.5 miles north-west, East Peckham sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Landlords with a home close to Beltring station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you look after a building like East Peckham Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
