Common questions in North End
Is my home in North End listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in North End?
Parking in North End, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when booking.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you cover North End?
Yes, we do. North End is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No, it focuses on the roof. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey and doesn’t replace a structural engineer’s report.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when booking.
Landlord roof survey in North End: what you get
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told ahead of time. Your agent or you arrange access and we will say what we need when you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you’ve noticed worn ridges, hips and verges and damaged pots and flaunching, we can find out what’s behind it.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. For a house in North End with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.

Landlord roof surveys around North End
Historic houses like Garden Lodge, about 0.4 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around North End goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. From the street you may see only a parapet, with a butterfly roof and a valley gutter behind it draining to the back. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For businesses in and around places such as Hammersmith Broadway, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. If you live near a park such as Gwendwr Garden, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. If you let a flat or house near Kensington Olympia station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
When you need someone else
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)

Why get it checked now?
Finding a roof defect early typically means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. That’s a good reason to find problems early, while there’s time to plan.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Surveys in North End can be booked for any day of the week. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Leave a clear route to the loft
