Landlord roof survey in Gordon Hill: what you get
The lease usually decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We cannot advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and blocks of flats, and people most frequently book us about missing or loose roof coverings and ceiling stains reported by tenants.
Much of London’s housing is flats, in converted houses or purpose-built blocks, where the roof is typically a shared part of the building. Whoever looks after the building needs a clear picture of the roof, chimneys and gutters, in Gordon Hill as anywhere. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. With a written report and photos, everyone can plan from the same facts.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before you book.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What made you get in touch
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price before you book.

What else we do in Gordon Hill
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Responsibility under a lease
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Blocks of flats
- Shared roofs
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. The report records the underlay where it’s visible.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily leaving water standing. We check them as part of the survey.
What happens if roof problems are left?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. When the stain finally shows, the damage underneath is often older than it looks.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.

Gordon Hill: your questions answered
I let a flat near Gordon Hill station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Gordon Hill?
Sometimes, yes. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well, and a driveway is even better.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Gordon Hill?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
How do I book a survey in Gordon Hill?
To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
The survey, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Gordon Hill we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, let us know who can let us into the shared parts.
- 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 the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Gordon Hill
Forty Hall, about 0.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Gordon Hill. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. 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 often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For landlords with property near Gordon Hill station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Homes near green spaces such as Enfield Town Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Anyone responsible for a site like St Michael's CofE Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
