Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Seven Sisters
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. We survey flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking joints at party walls and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
Much of London’s housing is flats, in converted houses or purpose-built blocks, where the roof is normally a shared part of the building. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it’s in and what work is coming up, in Seven Sisters as anywhere. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. A report gives everyone the same picture to plan from, with photos.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Seven Sisters questions
Is my home in Seven Sisters listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Seven Sisters?
It rarely stops a survey, but it’s worth planning. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we’ll work around them.
Can your report tell us who pays for the roof work?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. Our job is to report on the roof itself.
Do you work in Seven Sisters?
Yes. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Seven Sisters.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No. Our survey covers the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a visit in Seven Sisters, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. We then look at what can be seen safely from ground level, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- 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.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Tell us where we can park nearby

Why act early in Seven Sisters
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. In Seven Sisters, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below, which can lead to damp inside. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What you get with us
- Surveys seven days a week
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Clear package prices, including VAT
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Seven Sisters
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
If you let a flat or house near Seven Sisters station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Questions to ask before you book
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What insurance they carry
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
For landlords and managing agents

Landlords, agents and building managers in Seven Sisters and across Greater London can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Landlord roof surveys in Seven Sisters: local notes
Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have 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. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Bruce Castle, about 1.2 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Seven Sisters. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of Holy Trinity, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Homes near green spaces such as Chestnuts Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
