Landlord roof survey in Tottenham Green
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them, along with the roof space where there’s safe access. We survey shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats, and the problems we are asked to look at most are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and ceiling stains reported by tenants.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. From the street you see only a parapet wall, so blocked outlets and split linings go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling. If your home in Tottenham Green has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Local roofs in Tottenham Green
Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have Welsh slate roofs. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Historic houses such as Bruce Castle, about 0.9 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Tottenham Green goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Landlords with a home close to Seven Sisters station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Homes near green spaces such as Chestnuts Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Tottenham Green is about 2 miles west of Walthamstow, in Greater London. From houses to flats and shops in Tottenham Green, the roof can be surveyed. Our Greater London coverage includes Tottenham Green. For surveys nearby, see our London page.

What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Tottenham Green
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The size of the roof
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT.
Booking your survey
We’ll usually ask about:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.
Leave it or get it looked at?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. When the stain finally shows, the damage underneath is frequently older than it looks.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

Tottenham Green: your questions answered
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Tottenham Green?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Tottenham Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. Areas we couldn’t see are noted as well as what could.
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.
How long will you be on site?
It typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. For a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Tottenham Green?
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition and how soon.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Leaks into upper flats
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Take an older house close to Church of Holy Trinity: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so the back of the roof is frequently seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, tell us when booking.
- 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 loft 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
