Landlord roof survey in Hooley: what you get
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. If you’ve noticed damp or stains in top-floor flats and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on shared roofs, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks alike.
A London butterfly roof slopes down to a central valley gutter that drains to the back of the house. From the street you see only a parapet wall, so blocked outlets and split linings go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling. For a house in Hooley with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to let us know:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What’s prompted the survey
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What we are asked to look at in Hooley
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. Each wears differently, and flat roofs over rear additions often need attention sooner.
Look out for signs like these:
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
For a London address like Hooley, it is useful to know about controlled parking before the day.
Before booking anyone
- How long the report takes to arrive
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance

Common questions in Hooley
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Hooley?
It depends on the street. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hooley?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is this survey just for landlords?
Anyone who looks after a let or shared building can book it: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. It does not include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be, and the report says so.
Do you work in Hooley?
Yes, we do. Hooley is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Do you look in the loft space?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Local roofs in Hooley
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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you look after a building such as Coulsdon Sixth Form College, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Belfry, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
Hooley is about 2 miles south-west of Coulsdon, in Greater London. Roofs in Hooley get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Greater London. Hooley is one of the towns and villages in Greater London where we work. Crawley is in our area too.

How it works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In Hooley, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is frequently by permit or pay-and-display, so it’s useful to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they frequently give the best view of a rear addition.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- 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.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Note where any stains or damp appear
