How we price landlord roof surveys
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Which survey package you book
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The address and postcode of the property
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before you book.
About our landlord roof survey in Belgravia
A roof over tenants or leaseholders often gets attention only when water comes in. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early, 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 landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. If you are worried about chimney stacks in poor repair and ponding or splits on flat roofs, we can find out what’s behind it.
Much of London’s housing is flats, in converted houses or purpose-built blocks, so roofs are often shared between several households. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it is in and what work is coming up. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. With a written report and photos, everyone can plan from the same facts.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. In Belgravia, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: failed flashings and blocked valley gutters can send water into more than one home. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Belgravia?
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Blocked gutters over flats
Shop and office owners around Harrods may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
How the survey works
Where it’s 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. All in, the survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a visit in Belgravia, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Common questions in Belgravia
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near London Victoria station?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How do I find out if my home in Belgravia is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
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.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Belgravia
About 0.4 miles north lies Apsley House, a reminder of how long the area around Belgravia has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. From the street you may see only a parapet, with a butterfly roof and a valley gutter behind it draining to the back. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
The streets around a church such as St Peter's Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Landlords with a home close to London Victoria station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
