About our landlord roof survey in Moss End
We survey let and shared roofs in Moss End and across London and the South East. Time on site usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe including by drone where applicable. A written report with photos follows. Typical surveys look at worn ridges, hips and verges and ponding or splits on flat roofs, on flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and rented houses.
Older buildings in small places like Moss End may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Checking the roof from ground level
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Roof by roof
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys frequently let water in at the flashings. We note what we can see.
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area, so it needs arranging.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The size of the roof
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
Local roofs in Moss End
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses such as St Leonard's Hill, about 4.5 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Moss End goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael and All Angels, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For businesses in and around places like The Lexicon, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. Take a building like Garth Hill College: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

Why get it checked now?

In a place like Moss End, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Moss End can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about parking near the property
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
