Landlord roof survey in Strawberry Hill, Greater London
We take a careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Strawberry Hill, and put it all in a photo-illustrated written report.
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
Common roof problems in Strawberry Hill
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Damaged pots and flaunching
Homes near green spaces such as Marble Hill Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How soon the report will arrive
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Landlord roof survey in Strawberry Hill
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey converted houses, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks, and common reasons people get in touch are ceiling stains reported by tenants and damaged pots and flaunching.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, so roofs are often shared between several households. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it is in and what work is coming up. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. With a written report and photographs, everyone can plan from the same facts.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What we look for on each type of roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we are given access to, and the report says what was seen.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay frequently fail before good slates or tiles. The report records it.
FAQs for Strawberry Hill
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Strawberry Hill?
Parking in Strawberry Hill, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Strawberry Hill is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What this survey cannot tell you
A survey is a close look at the let or shared roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Who pays under the lease (that is a legal question)
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What our survey covers.

What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: 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 between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Surveys in Strawberry Hill can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you in advance.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Advice
Strawberry Hill homes and their roofs
About 0.1 miles south-west lies Strawberry Hill House, a reminder of how long the area around Strawberry Hill has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Landlords with a home close to Strawberry Hill station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.

Checking the roof from the ground
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
