Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

How a landlord roof survey works in Lissenden Gardens
We survey let and shared roofs in Lissenden Gardens and across London and the South East. Time on site usually takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen including by drone where it applies. You then get a written report with photos. We’re frequently asked to look into cracked or leaning shared chimneys and blocked gutters over flats, across shared roofs, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks.
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. For a house in Lissenden Gardens 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 is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- File each roof report for future reference
- Deal with urgent items first
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos. On timing, it normally takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In Lissenden Gardens, as in much of London, lots of properties are flats or terraces without side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know about parking near the property

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Lissenden Gardens
Can a landlord with a rental near Gospel Oak 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.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Lissenden Gardens?
Typically it’s manageable with a little notice. Tell us what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
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.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Lissenden Gardens
Historic houses such as Keats House, about 0.8 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Lissenden Gardens goes. 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 the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. In a house like that, shared stacks, party-wall upstands and lead flashings all need looking at as far as they can be seen. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Living close to Parliament Hill is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For an older house near a landmark such as Highgate Road Chapel, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Landlords with a home close to Gospel Oak station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
