Fulwell Landlord Roof Survey
Not sure what state the let or shared roof is in? You can book a landlord roof survey in Fulwell and across Greater London, with plain-English findings.
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Fulwell
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey blocks of flats, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are mortar falling from ridges and verges and ceiling stains reported by tenants.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. If your home in Fulwell has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Fulwell: your questions answered
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Fulwell?
Typically it is manageable with a little notice. Tell us what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
How do I find out if my home in Fulwell is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. It does not include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be and we will say so.
Common roof problems in Fulwell
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
Common reasons to book include:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
If you look after a building such as Stanley Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What the survey will not cover
Fulwell homes and their roofs
The wider area around Fulwell has a long history of building, with Strawberry Hill House about 0.6 miles north-east. 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. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Fulwell 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.
Shop and office owners around Treaty Centre may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. The streets around a church like St Michael's are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, it typically takes between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a visit in Fulwell, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at whatever is safely visible from ground level, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Leave it or get it looked at?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you are asking contractors to price. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
