How a landlord roof survey works in Welling
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. Typical surveys look at flashings that have come away and gutters overflowing onto walls, on blocks of flats, shared roofs and rented houses.
Much of London’s housing is flats, in converted houses or purpose-built blocks, so roofs are often shared between several households. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it is in and what work is coming up, in Welling as anywhere. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. A report gives everyone the same picture to plan from, with photographs.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Common questions in Welling
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Welling station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
How do I find out if my home in Welling is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when booking.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Roof by roof
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We note what we can see.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands as far as safe access allows.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Rented houses
- Shared roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
How it works
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Welling we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Book a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Local roofs in Welling
With Danson House about 0.4 miles south-east, Welling sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live near a park such as Danson Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. For an older house near a landmark like St John's Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Shop and office owners around Broadway Shopping Centre may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
