FAQs for Mill Hill
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Mill Hill?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
I let a flat near Mill Hill Broadway station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when you book.
How long is the visit?
It typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You will then get the report by email.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Landlord roof survey in Mill Hill: what you get
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We don’t give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. We’re often asked to look into ceiling stains reported by tenants and slipped or missing slates and tiles, across shared roofs, blocks of flats and converted houses.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. Homes in Mill Hill are no exception. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Deal with urgent items first
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
We confirm the price for your roof before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Mill Hill?
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Damaged pots and flaunching
Landlords with a home close to Mill Hill Broadway station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What insurance they carry
- When you will get the report
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether VAT is added on top
Why get it checked now?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What you get with us
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Clear package prices, inc. VAT

How it works
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes about one to two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Mill Hill 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.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Landlord roof surveys around Mill Hill
Historic houses such as Heath Hall, about 4 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Mill Hill goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Broadwalk Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Take an older house close to St Paul's Church: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
