Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in New Malden
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We cannot advise on what your lease says, 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 photographs and recommendations. We’re frequently asked to look into damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and damaged pots and flaunching, on converted houses, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats.
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. In New Malden, as across London, that is why a roof needs a proper look rather than a glance from the street. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a close look too.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Why it is worth a survey now in New Malden
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. London’s older roofs frequently have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
What you get with us
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Satisfaction rate of 98%

For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
What we can’t see
It helps to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- A full structural assessment of the building
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.

Questions from New Malden
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near New Malden station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in New Malden?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Landlord roof surveys in New Malden: local notes
Southside House, about 1.6 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around New Malden. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. If your home in New Malden is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you own a rental within reach of New Malden station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Christ Church New Malden CofE Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you live near a park such as Beverley Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

We then look at everything that’s safely in view from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.

- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at 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.

- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
