Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Greenford
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We are often asked to look into damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and blocked gutters over flats, on blocks of flats, shared roofs and rented houses.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, 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. In Greenford, as across London, that is 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.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Greenford: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a survey in Greenford?
Usually it is manageable with a little notice. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we will work around them.
Can a landlord with a rental near Greenford station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather and get close attention.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we’re given access to, and the report says what was seen.
How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Surveys in Greenford can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- 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
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Related advice
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Greenford?
On a shared roof, it is not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Problems we come across often include:
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
For businesses in and around places such as London Designer Outlet, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Greenford
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Greenford is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Historic houses such as Northolt Manor, about 1 mile north-west, show how far back building in the area around Greenford goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Parish Church of the Holy Cross (old Church), old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you own a rental within reach of Greenford station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
