How a landlord roof survey works in Woodside Park
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told in advance. You or your agent arrange access and we will say what we need when booking. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We survey flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats, and the problems we are asked to look at most are worn ridges, hips and verges and missing or loose roof coverings.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails often give out first and let slates slip. In Woodside Park, as across London, that is why a roof needs a proper look rather than a glance from the street. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a proper look too.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

FAQs for Woodside Park
Is my home in Woodside Park listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Woodside Park?
Sometimes, yes. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well, and a driveway is even better.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Is Woodside Park in your area?
Yes. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Woodside Park, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Do you look in the loft space?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
What’s the best way to book?
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 find a day that suits.
Tips that help
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
Local roofs in Woodside Park
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. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. The wider area around Woodside Park has a long history of building, with Heath Hall about 3 miles south. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near Saint Barnabas' Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Northside Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

For landlords and managing agents

What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. We note what we can see.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets often clog leaving water standing. We check them as part of the survey.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so the back of the roof is frequently 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 you book.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

When to book a survey in Woodside Park
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Common reasons to book include:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Grand Arcade, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Will the report include photos?
- Their report turnaround times
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
How we price landlord roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The roof’s overall size
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
For a price for your roof in Woodside Park, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
There is no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
