Different roofs, different checks

Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area, so it needs arranging.
Landlord roof survey in Gillette Corner: what you get
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely, along with the roof space where there’s safe access. If you’re worried about gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and loose ridge or hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, 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. Homes in Gillette Corner are no exception. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a close look too.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Local roofs in Gillette Corner
Boston Manor, about 0.7 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Gillette Corner. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Outer London has plenty of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For businesses in and around places such as Treaty Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. If you look after a building such as Marlborough Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

FAQs for Gillette Corner
Is parking a problem for a survey in Gillette Corner?
It can be, so it is useful to let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Syon Lane station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. Repair costs are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when you book.
Why act early in Gillette Corner
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

How the survey works
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

When to book a survey in Gillette Corner
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
