About our landlord roof survey in Temple Mills
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. Common reasons to book are gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and ponding or splits on flat roofs, on rented houses, shared roofs and blocks of flats.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, 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 Temple Mills are no exception. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a proper look too.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork, which can lead to damp inside. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Temple Mills
Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces frequently have Welsh slate roofs. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. If your home in Temple Mills is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. With Sutton House about 1.6 miles west, Temple Mills sits in an area with a long building history. 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, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Westfield Stratford City, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Chobham Academy, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- File each roof report for future reference
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.

Temple Mills questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Stratford International station?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Temple Mills?
It can be, so it is useful to let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space as you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Temple Mills?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In Temple Mills, as in much of London, a good many properties are flats or terraces without 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 as you book.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Temple Mills
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
Homes near green spaces like Mabley Green can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
