What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes as far as can be seen safely.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. The report records it.
Landlord roof survey in Wallend
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. We are often asked to look into leaking joints at party walls and worn ridges, hips and verges, across rented houses, converted houses and blocks of flats.
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 Wallend has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Wallend questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Wallend?
It can be, so it helps to let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when booking. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Can a landlord with a rental near Barking station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Do you cover Wallend for landlord roof surveys?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Wallend included.
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos. As for time on site, it usually takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is frequently on a shared landing. Where that is the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Leave it or get it looked at?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. In Wallend, 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.
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Wallend homes and their roofs
About 1.5 miles east lies Eastbury Manor House, a reminder of how long the area around Wallend has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For businesses in and around places like Gallions Reach Shopping Park, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. If you let a flat or house near Barking station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you live in an older home near St John the Baptist's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Deal with urgent items first
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
