What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Which survey package you book
- How big the roof is
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Edmonton
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told ahead of time. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you’re worried about leaks into upper flats and parapets and upstands in poor repair, 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. From the street you see only a parapet wall, so blocked outlets and split linings go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling. For a house in Edmonton with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Edmonton homes and their roofs
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Edmonton 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. With Bruce Castle about 1.8 miles south, Edmonton sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church like All Saints' Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you run a business near Edmonton Green Shopping Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
Edmonton is about 9 miles north-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Wherever you are in Edmonton, we can come and survey your property. Our Greater London coverage includes Edmonton and the places around it. Our London page covers surveys nearby.
We work across N9, N18, N13 and EN1 for landlord roof surveys and the streets around it. If you need a landlord roof survey at a property on The Broadway, Plevna Road and Galahad Road or anywhere close by, we can help. Edmonton sits on or near the B137 and B154, which makes travel easy. Nearby, we also carry out landlord roof surveys in Upper Edmonton (1 mile south), Picketts Lock (1 mile east), Northumberland Park (1 mile south), Ponders End (1 mile north-east) and Bush Hill Park (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cover London (9 miles south), City of Westminster (9 miles south-west), Marylebone (8 miles south-west), Kensington (10 miles south-west), St Pancras (7 miles south) and Shoreditch (7 miles south).
What’s near Edmonton
Around Edmonton, our work takes us to homes and buildings near NiW Furniture pub, The Latymer School and Starks Field School. There is a railway station in Edmonton itself: Edmonton Green station. A little further out are Edmonton Green Shopping Centre (less than half a mile north-east) and North Middlesex University Hospital (1 mile south-west). The countryside around Edmonton includes Highams Park Lake and Ainslie Wood.
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes 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.
How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the roof space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch and you’ll need to arrange it.
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner and the report helps with that.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Edmonton?
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
Landlords with a home close to Edmonton Green station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

FAQs for Edmonton
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Edmonton?
Sometimes, yes. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well.
How do I find out if my home in Edmonton is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Will you say whether the freeholder or leaseholders should pay?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Larger buildings are priced to suit, so call 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when booking.
How much time does the visit need?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it is useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets in another room
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
