How a landlord roof survey works in Merton Park
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a photo-illustrated written report to keep on file for the building. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to see how the roof is changing. Typical surveys look at worn ridges, hips and verges and standing water on a flat roof, across flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and converted houses.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, often with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. In Merton Park, as across London, that’s why a roof needs a proper look rather than a glance from the street. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What affects the price in Merton Park
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The roof’s overall size
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Merton Park questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Merton Park?
Parking in Merton Park, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
I let a flat near South Merton station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
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 aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do you cover Merton Park?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, Merton Park included.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. Where that is the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Landlord roof surveys around Merton Park
About 1.4 miles west lies Southside House, a reminder of how long the area around Merton Park has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Merton Park Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For landlords with property near South Merton station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

What we are asked to look at in Merton Park
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
For businesses in and around places such as Southside Wandsworth, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Leave it or get it looked at?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. A survey shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, so spending can be spread sensibly. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: failed flashings and blocked valley gutters can send water into more than one home. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Why us?
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Every finding written up with photos

Different roofs, different checks
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we are given access to, and the report says what was seen.
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
