How a landlord roof survey works in Eden Park
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need as you book. Where we cannot get into part of the building, the report says so. If you’re worried about ceiling stains reported by tenants and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats alike.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, frequently with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails often give out first and let slates slip. In Eden Park, as across London, that is why a roof needs a close look rather than a glance from the street. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Eden Park
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Eden Park is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With Bromley Palace about 2.2 miles north-east, Eden Park 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Langley Park School for Boys, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St John's Eden Park, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Landlords with a home close to Eden Park station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we’re given access to and note what couldn’t be seen.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.
What we can’t see
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What this survey covers
- Converted houses
- Blocks of flats
- Shared roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a London area like Eden Park, the main things to sort out are parking and access: tell us 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’s safe.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets in another room
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

What else we do in Eden Park
Why get it checked now?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. London’s older roofs often have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

Common questions in Eden Park
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Eden Park?
It rarely stops a survey, but it’s worth planning. Let us know what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Eden Park station?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. It does not include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Do you work in Eden Park?
Yes. We cover Eden Park and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across London and the South East. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and the rest budgeted for later.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
