Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Goodmayes
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It does not include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We survey gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and gutters overflowing onto walls.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, so roofs are frequently shared between several households. Whoever looks after the building needs a clear picture of the roof, chimneys and gutters. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. A report gives everyone the same picture to plan from, with photos.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- File each roof report for future reference
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.

What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover

- A full structural assessment of the building
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to

What this survey covers
- Shared roofs
- Blocks of flats
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes between one and two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Surveys in Goodmayes can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- You let us know 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.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

What we look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded as far as safe access allows.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Roof area
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block

Landlord roof surveys in Goodmayes: local notes
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 2.1 miles south lies Eastbury Manor House, a reminder of how long the area around Goodmayes has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you let a flat or house near Goodmayes station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you look after a building like Goodmayes Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Trees in and around South Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

FAQs for Goodmayes
How do I find out if my home in Goodmayes is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can a landlord with a rental near Goodmayes station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included.

Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
