Landlord roof survey in Manor House: what you get
We survey let and shared roofs in Manor House and across London and the South East. A visit typically takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photographs. We survey gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are flashings that have come away and choked outlets and gutters.
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. If your home in Manor House has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Landlord roof surveys in Manor House: local notes
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. If your home in Manor House is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The wider area around Manor House has a long history of building, with Bruce Castle about 2.1 miles north-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For businesses in and around places like The Mall Wood Green, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. For landlords with property near Harringay Green Lanes station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.

Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.

Manor House: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Harringay Green Lanes station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Manor House?
It rarely stops a survey, but it is worth planning. Tell us what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take an hour or two for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The written report follows by email.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect what can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Do you cover Manor House?
Yes, we do. Manor House is part of the area we cover.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
How the survey changes by roof type
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
What we are asked to look at in Manor House
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time particularly where the roof can’t be seen from the street.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
Anyone responsible for a site like Woodberry Down Community Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Before booking anyone
- Their report turnaround times
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether VAT is added on top
How the survey works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit normally takes between one and two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so a visit in Manor House moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. If other people live in the building, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Check pets are kept safely away
