About our landlord roof survey in Belmont
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told beforehand. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. If you’ve noticed parapets and upstands in poor repair and loose ridge or hip tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
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 frequently give out first and let slates slip. In Belmont, as across London, that’s why a roof needs a careful look rather than a glance from the street. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Common questions in Belmont
Is my home in Belmont listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Harrow & Wealdstone station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What we’re asked to look at in Belmont
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it, so maintenance gets put off. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
If you own a rental within reach of Harrow & Wealdstone station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Before you book anyone
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What they won’t be able to tell you
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Deal with urgent items first
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.

Landlord roof surveys around Belmont
Outer London has a good many Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. About 1.6 miles west lies Headstone Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Belmont has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Take an older house close to Church of St Anselm: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. If you have questions on the day, just ask. From the street, a London terrace normally shows only its front slope or parapet, so a visit in Belmont moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
A parapet can hide a gutter that is hard to see. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roof outlets often clog leaving water standing. They’re checked during the survey.
