Eden Park questions
Can a landlord with a rental near Eden Park station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Eden Park?
Parking in Eden Park, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when you book.
What do you check on a roof survey?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it’s safe. The report includes photos and recommendations.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How a roof survey works in Eden Park
Three packages cover most roofs: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT. The Basic Survey gives a visual inspection, photos and written recommendations. The higher packages add more checks, with moisture detection and a structural check, and on Premium, thermal imaging and a drone where applicable. Every package includes a written report. We survey flat roofs, natural slate and clay and concrete tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. 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 Eden Park 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.

Useful tips for Eden Park property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Include dormers, porches and garages when you book
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
- Stay off ladders and the roof
File the report with your other home documents. It gives you something to compare against later, and it can help when you sell.
Have gutters and valleys cleared regularly, particularly after autumn. Leave the clearing to a professional. Most overflow damage starts with a blocked gutter.

What else we do in Eden Park
Why get it checked now?
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from the ground. That can lead to the wrong work being done, or miss the fault that matters. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. London’s older roofs often have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Roof surveys around Eden Park
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Historic houses like Bromley Palace, about 2.2 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Eden Park goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you look after a building such as Langley Park School for Boys, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Landlords with a home close to Eden Park station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- When you need the report by

Signs you need a roof survey in Eden Park
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Lead can crack, lift or slip with age, and mortar fillets crack. Missing lead is not unusual either, as thieves target it.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Homes near green spaces like Millers Pond can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
What to check before booking
- When you’ll get the report
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey usually takes an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. From the street, a London terrace normally shows only its front slope or parapet, so a visit in Eden Park moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- We start by hearing what you’d like checked and why.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
