- Blocked gutters over flats
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a London conversion, the way into the roof space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. Where that’s the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Landlord roof survey in Grove Park
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not 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. If you’ve noticed blocked gutters over flats and chimney stacks in poor repair, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. From the street you see only a parapet wall, so blocked outlets and split linings go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling. If your home in Grove Park has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Give residents notice before a survey
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Grove Park
Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Grove Park is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. The wider area around Grove Park has a long history of building, with Chiswick House about 0.5 miles east. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Grove Park Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Living close to Dukes Meadows is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.
Grove Park is about 2 miles south of Acton, in Greater London. We carry out landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Grove Park. Grove Park is one of the places in Greater London we cover for landlord roof surveys. London is in our area too.
All of W4, TW9 and SW14 is covered for landlord roof surveys. We cover properties on Ibis Lane, Park Road and Cedars Road and the roads around them. Close by, we survey roofs in Kew (1 mile west), Strand-on-the-Green (1 mile west), North Sheen (1 mile south-west), Turnham Green (1 mile north-east) and Chiswick (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cover London (8 miles east), City of Westminster (5 miles north-east), Marylebone (6 miles north-east), Kensington (3 miles north-east), St Pancras (7 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (9 miles east).
Around Grove Park
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Chiswick School, Polish Library POSK in London and Kew College Prep. Other local landmarks include Dukes Meadows (0.6 miles south-east) and Bull's Head pub (less than half a mile west). Grove Park has its own railway station: Chiswick station. A little further out are Livat Hammersmith (1.9 miles north-east) and Asian Music Museum (0.9 miles north). Not far away are Duke's Hollow and Richmond Hill.
Checking the roof from the ground
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Grove Park questions
How do I find out if my home in Grove Park 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.
Can a landlord with a rental near Chiswick station book a roof survey?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
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.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Grove Park?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
When to book a survey in Grove Park
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Livat Hammersmith, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they carry
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
