How a landlord roof survey works in Fortune Green
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. Common reasons to book are missing or loose roof coverings and damp or stains in top-floor flats, across converted houses, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, often with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails often give out first and let slates slip. Homes in Fortune Green are no exception. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

How the survey works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In Fortune Green, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you beforehand.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Getting a price
We confirm the price for your survey before you book, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. When the stain finally shows, the damage underneath is frequently older than it looks.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

When to book a survey in Fortune Green
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Leaking joints at party walls
The streets around a church such as Church of St Luke are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
What to check before booking
- What experience they bring
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What exactly goes into their report
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
Landlord roof surveys around Fortune Green
Historic houses like Fenton House, about 0.7 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Fortune Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Homes near green spaces such as Kilburn Grange Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you let a flat or house near West Hampstead Thameslink station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Fortune Green
Is my home in Fortune Green listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can a landlord with a rental near West Hampstead Thameslink station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
