Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Norwood Green
How do I find out if my home in Norwood Green is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Norwood Green?
It rarely stops a survey, but it is worth planning. Tell us what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Normally, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Who normally books a landlord or block roof survey?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: landlords, agents, freeholders and residents’ management companies.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Do you cover Norwood Green?
Yes. We survey roofs in Norwood Green and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across London and South East England. To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It does not include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Landlord roof survey in Norwood Green
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. Your agent or you arrange access and we will say what we need when booking. Where we cannot get into part of the building, the report says so. Typical surveys look at gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and leaks into upper flats, across blocks of flats, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks.
Much of London’s housing is flats, in converted houses or purpose-built blocks, so roofs are often shared between several households. Whoever looks after the building needs a clear picture of the roof, chimneys and gutters. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. With a written report and photographs, everyone can plan from the same facts.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Why it is worth a survey now in Norwood Green
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 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.
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking.

How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In Norwood Green, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. 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. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

How we price landlord roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Which survey package you book
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- When you need the report by
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
Landlord roof surveys in Norwood Green: local notes
The wider area around Norwood Green has a long history of building, with Osterley House about 0.6 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Outer London has a good many Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you let a flat or house near Southall station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Norwood Green
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Flashings that have come away
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Treaty Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
