Landlord roof survey in Holloway: 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 set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. Common reasons to book are damp or stains in top-floor flats and chimney stacks in poor repair, on blocks of flats, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Questions from Holloway
Can a landlord with a rental near Furze Platt station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Is my home in Holloway listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
How long is the visit?
It normally takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We will confirm the timing as you book.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. Repair costs are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Somewhere like Holloway needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- 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 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
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Book a survey
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Related advice
Why get it checked now?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. In a place like Holloway, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.

Common roof problems in Holloway
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Blocked gutters over flats
Take an older house close to Saint John the Evangelist: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Holloway
Historic houses such as Harleyford Manor, about 2.7 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Holloway goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Landlords with a home close to Furze Platt station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you look after a building such as Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
