Newbury Park Landlord Roof Survey
We take a careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Newbury Park, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
How a landlord roof survey works in Newbury Park
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. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey gutters and downpipes, converted houses and shared roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose ridge or hip tiles and damaged pots and flaunching.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, where the roof is normally a shared part of the building. Whoever looks after the building needs a clear picture of the roof, chimneys and gutters. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. With a written report and photos, everyone can plan from the same facts.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Why act early in Newbury Park
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first so you know what you’re asking contractors to price. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What you get with us
- An independent view of the roof
- 98% of clients satisfied

What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Height and safe access
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The address and postcode of the property
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
We confirm the price for your roof before you book, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What we look for on each type of roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. The report records the underlay where it is visible.
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Questions from Newbury Park
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Newbury Park?
Normally it is manageable with a little notice. Tell us what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
I let a flat near Seven Kings station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be and we’ll say so.
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 will talk about access when you book.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
How do I book a survey in Newbury Park?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days as you book.

What else we do in Newbury Park
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. From the street, a London terrace typically shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Newbury 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? Tell us who holds the keys.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Newbury Park homes and their roofs
About 0.9 miles west lies Valentines Mansion, a reminder of how long the area around Newbury Park has been built on. 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. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Newbury Park Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. As a London address, Newbury Park can be tricky for parking: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day easier, as a space near the door can’t be promised. If you live near a park like Valentines Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
