Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Bedfont
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak and by then more has been damaged.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Leaks into upper flats
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
If you run a business near Treaty Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

How a landlord roof survey works in Bedfont
The lease usually decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We don’t give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey blocks of flats, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are loose ridge or hip tiles and gutters overflowing onto walls.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. In Bedfont, as across London, that is why a roof needs a proper look rather than a glance from the street. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What else we do in Bedfont
Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
The roof space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We go into the loft where it is safe, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Bedfont
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With Strawberry Hill House about 4.6 miles east, Bedfont sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Bedfont, along with any off-street space. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

FAQs for Bedfont
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Bedfont?
It depends on the street. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well, and a driveway is even better.
How do I find out if my home in Bedfont is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is 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.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No. We survey the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Do you need access to all the flats?
That depends on the layout. Often we need the loft and certain flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We tell you what’s needed as you book.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be, and the report says so.

What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a London area like Bedfont, the main things to sort out are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at what can safely be seen from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice
Useful tips for Bedfont property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Deal with urgent items first
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Why get it checked now?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you are asking contractors to price. London’s older roofs often have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
