Landlord roof survey in Motspur Park: what you get
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the loft space and some or all of the flats, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We survey blocks of flats, gutters and downpipes and flat roofs on blocks, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and loose ridge or hip tiles.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, 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 Motspur Park are no exception. 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 example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)

Motspur Park questions
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Motspur Park?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Motspur Park?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it when you book and we will explain what’s needed.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Local roofs in Motspur Park
About 0.8 miles north-east lies Southside House, a reminder of how long the area around Motspur Park has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Outer London has plenty of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Motspur Park is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Christ Church New Malden, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Shop and office owners around Bentall Centre may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

What we look for on each type of roof
Roof spaces and lofts
The roof space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We check it where there is safe access, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. They’re an important part of the survey.

What else we do in Motspur Park
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Motspur Park we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Advice
Why it’s worth a survey now in Motspur Park
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. 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 matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Motspur Park?
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay frequently fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
Common reasons to book include:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Leaks into upper flats
- Leaking joints at party walls
Landlords with a home close to New Malden station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Questions to ask before booking
