Your questions about roof surveys in Horn Park
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Lee station?
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.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Horn Park?
Parking in Horn Park, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available as you book.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.

Roof surveys for homes and businesses in Horn Park
People book a roof survey for all sorts of reasons. Some have seen a mark on a ceiling or bits of tile in the garden, others want a check before selling or after years without one. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: a careful look, then a clear written report. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. We survey chimney stacks, flat roofs and lead flashings, and people most often book us about leaning or weathered chimney stacks and lifted, split or missing lead flashings.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. If your home in Horn Park has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
Water that gets into a stack can show as damp in the rooms below. We check the flashings and mortar for the cause.
Lead flashings and valleys
Many older houses have lead in their valleys and hidden gutters. Worn or split lead lets water straight in.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: 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.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Ask about a flat roof on an extension or garage too
- Keep the report with your property records
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
- Take photos of any leaks as they happen
If you need work done, the report gives roofers a clear brief. They’ll see each defect and its location, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after major storms. Regular checks catch problems while they’re small. Each report gives a record to compare against.
What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Horn Park 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.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

What a roof survey looks like in Horn Park
The flight restriction zone around London City Airport comes within about 2 miles of Horn Park. If your survey includes the drone, the exact boundary is checked for the address first. With Eltham Palace about 1 mile east, Horn Park sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Lee station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you live near a park like Manor House Gardens, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. For businesses in and around places like Lewisham Shopping Centre, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
