Landlord roof survey in Millbank, Greater London

- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Millbank
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years particularly where the roof can’t be seen from the street.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Flashings that have come away
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
For businesses in and around places like Kingly Court, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What exactly goes into their report
- What follow-up you get after the report
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Millbank
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. If you’ve noticed flashings that have come away and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes alike.
Much of London’s housing is flats, in converted houses or purpose-built blocks, so roofs are often shared between several households. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it is in and what work is coming up. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. A report gives everyone the same picture to plan from, with photos.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In Millbank, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they frequently give the best view of a rear addition.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Landlord roof surveys around Millbank
Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces frequently have Welsh slate roofs. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. If your home in Millbank is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. About 0.4 miles north-west lies Clarence House, a reminder of how long the area around Millbank has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to Christ Church: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building such as Harris Westminster Sixth Form, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
The loft space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We check it where there is safe access, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are frequently shared between houses or flats. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The roof’s overall size
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date

You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.

Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.

Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
