Landlord roof survey in Peckham Bush: what you get
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Peckham Bush and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site usually takes between one and two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen including by drone where applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. We survey shared roofs, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and people most frequently book us about worn ridges, hips and verges and damp or stains in top-floor flats.
In a small place like Peckham Bush, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Useful tips for Peckham Bush property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
The report comes with photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Landlord roof surveys around Peckham Bush
About 3.8 miles north-west lies Old Soar Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Peckham Bush has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building like East Peckham Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Peckham Bush?
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay frequently fail before good slates or tiles so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
For landlords with property near Yalding station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.
What to check before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- What the survey will not cover
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
FAQs for Peckham Bush
Will you come out to Peckham Bush?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Yalding station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Do you look in the roof space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How the survey works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like Peckham Bush, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Leave side gates unlocked

What else we do in Peckham Bush
Why it’s worth a survey now in Peckham Bush
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain frequently means water has been coming in for some time. A survey looks at the roof itself. For an older or listed building in a place like Peckham Bush, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
