Landlord roof survey in Noel Park
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait based on what can be seen. It does not give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. Common reasons to book are ponding or splits on flat roofs and parapets and upstands in poor repair, across blocks of flats, rented houses and converted houses.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, often with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. In Noel Park, as across London, that’s why a roof needs a close look rather than a glance from the street. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a careful look too.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

How we price landlord roof surveys
To price your survey, we check:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The roof’s overall size
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded as far as safe access allows.
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. We note what we see from inside.

What else we do in Noel Park
What happens if roof problems are left?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. London’s older roofs often have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

The survey, step by step
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Noel Park
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Bruce Castle, about 1.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Noel Park. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For businesses in and around places such as The Mall Wood Green, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Noel Park Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Common questions in Noel Park
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Noel Park?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
I let a flat near Alexandra Palace station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the building.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Noel Park?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Common roof problems in Noel Park
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.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Cracked or lifting flashings
Homes near green spaces like Ducketts Common can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What insurance they carry
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
