How a landlord roof survey works in Westcombe Park
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t give repair costs but contractors can price from it. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. Common reasons to book are parapets and upstands in poor repair and leaks into upper flats, on shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and rented houses.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, so roofs are frequently shared between several households. Whoever looks after the building needs a clear picture of the roof, chimneys and gutters, in Westcombe Park as anywhere. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. A report gives everyone the same picture to plan from, with photographs.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Westcombe Park: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Westcombe Park?
It rarely stops a survey, but it’s worth planning. Let us know what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
I let a flat near Westcombe Park station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
Do you work in Westcombe Park?
Yes, we do. Westcombe Park is part of the area we cover.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
You receive a written report with photos and recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It’s emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.

Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
The survey, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photographs. As for time on site, it typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a visit in Westcombe Park, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. We then look at everything that’s safely in view from ground level, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property

Advice
Westcombe Park homes and their roofs
Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. From the street you may see only a parapet, with a butterfly roof and a valley gutter behind it draining to the back. If your home in Westcombe Park is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. About 1 mile west lies Queen's House, a reminder of how long the area around Westcombe Park has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Westcombe Park station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Shop and office owners around Lewisham Shopping Centre may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Trees in and around East Greenwich Pleasaunce shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
