Landlord roof survey in South Street, Greater London
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats for South Street, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Leaks into upper flats
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
What happens if roof problems are left?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. When the stain finally shows, the damage underneath is often older than it looks.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
Why us?
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- PI and public liability insurance
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help

About our landlord roof survey in South Street
A roof over tenants or leaseholders frequently gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early so work can be planned, not rushed. The findings come in a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. Typical surveys look at damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and choked outlets and gutters, across flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and shared roofs.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, frequently with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. In South Street, as across London, that’s why a roof needs a careful look rather than a glance from the street. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a proper look too.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

South Street questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Oxted station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in South Street?
Sometimes, yes. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well, and a driveway is even better.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you cover South Street for landlord roof surveys?
Yes, we do. We carry out landlord roof surveys in South Street, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in South Street?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in South Street
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. The wider area around South Street has a long history of building, with Titsey Place about 2.1 miles south-west. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Oxted station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Charles Darwin School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. For a London address like South Street, it’s useful to know about controlled parking before the day.

What we look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys frequently let water in at the flashings. We note what we can see.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently last around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Landlord and commercial surveys in South Street
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The size of the roof
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- What’s prompted the survey
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.

How it works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, let us know when you book.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Leave side gates unlocked
