About our landlord roof survey in Rise Park
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access and we’ll say what we need when you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you’re worried about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and flashings that have come away, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. Homes in Rise Park are no exception. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

How the survey changes by roof type

We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access and note what couldn’t be seen.
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. We give them close attention.
Landlord roof surveys around Rise Park
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Historic houses such as Hare Hall, about 1.3 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Rise Park goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Homes near green spaces like Raphael Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Take an older house close to St James: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For landlords with property near Gidea Park station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

What we do, step by step
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a London conversion, the way into the roof space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Getting a price
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Related advice
Landlords, agents and block managers in Rise Park
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.

Common questions in Rise Park
How do I find out if my home in Rise Park is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
I let a flat near Gidea Park station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
How do I book a survey in Rise Park?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we will say so.
Useful tips for Rise Park property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Deal with urgent items first
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
