Enfield Chase Landlord Roof Survey
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in Enfield Chase. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
Why get it checked now?
Finding a roof defect early usually means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why us?
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- An independent view of the roof
- Over 20 years’ experience

Landlord roof survey in Enfield Chase: what you get
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. If you’re worried about slipped or missing slates and tiles and cracked or lifting flashings, we can find out what’s behind it.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, frequently with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. In Enfield Chase, as across London, that is why a roof needs a careful look rather than a glance from the street. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Getting in touch
We’ll normally ask about:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Enfield Chase questions
Is my home in Enfield Chase listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Enfield Chase?
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.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
That depends on the layout. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We tell you what’s needed when you book.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be and we will say so.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What we do, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so a visit in Enfield Chase moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property

Roof by roof
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. We record what we see.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Enfield Chase
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Leaks into upper flats
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
If you let a flat or house near Enfield Chase station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Enfield Chase homes and their roofs
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Forty Hall, about 1.6 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Enfield Chase. 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.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary Magdalene, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you live near a park like Enfield Town Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
