Landlord roof survey in Osidge
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Osidge and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site normally takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely including by drone where it applies. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. Common reasons to book are standing water on a flat roof and leaking joints at party walls, across blocks of flats, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks.
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 Osidge with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Osidge
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a London area like Osidge, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Leave side gates unlocked
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, tell us about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults usually get worse.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Osidge
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
Homes near green spaces such as Oak Hill Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- How soon the report will arrive
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT.
What to let us know when you get in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
Osidge homes and their roofs
The wider area around Osidge has a long history of building, with Bruce Castle about 3.8 miles south-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Osidge is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take a building like Monkfrith Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you own a rental within reach of Oakleigh Park station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Osidge questions
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Osidge?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when booking. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can a landlord with a rental near Oakleigh Park station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How do I book a survey in Osidge?
To book, phone 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 find a day that suits.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to.
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. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
