Questions from Woodcote Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Reedham (London) station?
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.
Is my home in Woodcote Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The written report follows by email.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email 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 out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Landlord roof survey in Woodcote Green: what you get
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. The findings come in a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. If you’re worried about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and missing or loose roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it.
A London butterfly roof slopes down to a central valley gutter that drains to the back of the house. From the street you see only a parapet wall, so blocked outlets and split linings go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling. For a house in Woodcote Green with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

How it works
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In Woodcote Green, as in much of London, a good many properties are flats or terraces without side access, so the back of the roof is often 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, let us know when booking.
- 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.
- Each roof is checked 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.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Landlord roof surveys around Woodcote Green
With Nonsuch Mansion about 3.6 miles west, Woodcote Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take an older house close to St. Patrick's Church: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you let a flat or house near Reedham (London) station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Keep gutters and outlets clear and include any valley or parapet gutters. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
