Landlord roof survey in Hanworth, Greater London
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats for Hanworth and the rest of Greater London. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Standing water on a flat roof
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
About our landlord roof survey in Hanworth
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. If you’ve noticed mortar falling from ridges and verges and chimney stacks in poor repair, we can find out what’s behind it.
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. Homes in Hanworth are no exception. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How the survey works
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. From the street, a London terrace usually shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Hanworth we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, let us know who can let us into the shared parts.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Hanworth
Historic houses such as Strawberry Hill House, about 2 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Hanworth goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Hanworth 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.
Landlords with a home close to Hampton station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Anyone responsible for a site like Buckingham Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather and get close attention.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
What we’re asked to look at in Hanworth
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition or when.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
If you run a business near Treaty Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- When you will get the report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Hanworth questions
Is parking a problem for a survey in Hanworth?
Normally it’s manageable with a little notice. Tell us what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hanworth?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Hanworth?
Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
Report times depend 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.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Hanworth
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
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 when budgeting.
