Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Tokyngton
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey rented houses, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats, and people most often book us about mortar falling from ridges and verges and damaged pots and flaunching.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. If your home in Tokyngton has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
Where we cannot see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Tokyngton questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Stonebridge Park station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
How do I find out if my home in Tokyngton is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when booking.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
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.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. In Tokyngton, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: failed flashings and blocked valley gutters can send water into more than one home. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.

- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it

If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Blocks of flats
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Shared roofs
- Rented houses
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
Different roofs, different checks
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys frequently let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. Any problems are photographed.
The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photographs. On timing, most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Tokyngton we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets in another room
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Tokyngton
Outer London has plenty of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in 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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Pitzhanger Manor, about 2.8 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Tokyngton. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Homes near green spaces such as St. Raphael's Edible Garden can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. Shop and office owners around London Designer Outlet may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Take a building like Elsley Primary School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
