Landlord roof survey in Streatham Hill
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We’re often asked to look into parapets and upstands in poor repair and worn ridges, hips and verges, on shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats.
Much of London’s housing is flats, in converted houses or purpose-built blocks, so roofs are often shared between several households. Whoever looks after the building needs a clear picture of the roof, chimneys and gutters. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. A report gives everyone the same picture to plan from, with photographs.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

How we price landlord roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- House, block, shop or office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the price for your roof before booking.
Booking your survey
We’ll typically ask about:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Common roof problems in Streatham Hill
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Flashings that have come away
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
For landlords with property near Streatham Hill station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
What to check before booking
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What happens after the report arrives
What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. From the street, a London terrace normally shows only its front slope or parapet, so a visit in Streatham Hill moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- 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 the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent

For landlords and managing agents
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
Why act early in Streatham Hill
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Any roof job in Streatham Hill means planning around parking, neighbours and access. That is a good reason to find problems early, while there’s time to plan, rather than in a rush after a leak.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Why book with us
- A report with photos
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- An independent look at the roof
- Visits on any day of the week

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Streatham Hill
Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. If your home in Streatham Hill is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Kingswood House, about 1.9 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Streatham Hill. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Margaret are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

FAQs for Streatham Hill
Is parking a problem for a survey in Streatham Hill?
Parking in Streatham 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 as you book.
How do I find out if my home in Streatham Hill 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.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
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’ll say so.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. Repair costs are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
How much time does the visit need?
A visit usually takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We’ll give you an idea as you book.
Do you cover Streatham Hill?
Yes. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Streatham Hill.
