Local roofs in Tulse Hill
About 1.6 miles south-east lies Kingswood House, a reminder of how long the area around Tulse Hill has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that cannot be seen from the pavement. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Trees in and around Belair Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters. For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Landlord roof survey in Tulse Hill: what you get
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. Common reasons to book are missing or loose roof coverings and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, on gutters and downpipes, rented houses 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, in Tulse Hill as anywhere. 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.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
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.
What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take about one to two hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it is useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you beforehand.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

FAQs for Tulse Hill
How do I find out if my home in Tulse Hill is listed?
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.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Tulse Hill?
Sometimes, yes. If Tulse Hill has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer.
How do I book a survey in Tulse Hill?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
