Landlord roof survey in Leytonstone: what you get
We survey let and shared roofs in Leytonstone and across London and South East England. Time on site typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe including by drone where applicable. A written report with photos follows. Typical surveys look at blocked gutters over flats and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, on blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses.
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 Leytonstone has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily, and standing water follows. We check them as part of the survey.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access and note what couldn’t be seen.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Leytonstone
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.

- Flashings that have come away
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
Trees in and around Leyton Jubilee Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Leytonstone
Is my home in Leytonstone listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Leytonstone?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when booking. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. Blocks are priced on their size and roofs. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No. Who pays is typically set by the lease and we do not give legal advice. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
What you can safely check yourself
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
Landlord roof surveys around Leytonstone
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Leytonstone is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. With Valentines Mansion about 2.4 miles east, Leytonstone sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like 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.
Take a building like George Tomlinson Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For landlords with property near Leytonstone High Road station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Leytonstone 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, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Check pets are kept safely away
