Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Enfield Wash
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photographs and recommendations. Surveys are carried out seven days a week which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses, and common reasons people get in touch are damp or stains in top-floor flats and worn ridges, hips and verges.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Enfield Wash drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from ground level.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Being in a smaller place like Enfield Wash doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- 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.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Landlord roof surveys in Enfield Wash: local notes
The wider area around Enfield Wash has a long history of building, with Forty Hall about 1.3 miles west. 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. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you own a rental within reach of Turkey Street station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. The streets around a church such as St George's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Common roof problems in Enfield Wash
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
Problems we come across often include:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Flashings that have come away
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Choked outlets and gutters
If you look after a building such as Eastfield Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Why act early in Enfield Wash
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Around Enfield Wash, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
