Landlord roof survey in Harmondsworth: what you get
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. The roof space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need as you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. We survey converted houses, gutters and downpipes and blocks of flats, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are ponding or splits on flat roofs and damaged pots and flaunching.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. If your home in Harmondsworth has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Harmondsworth
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause, as far as can be seen.
People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
Take a building like Harmondsworth Primary School: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

FAQs for Harmondsworth
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Harmondsworth?
Parking in Harmondsworth, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
How do I find out if my home in Harmondsworth is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you work in Harmondsworth?
Yes, we do. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Harmondsworth.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. From the street, a London terrace usually shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Harmondsworth 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, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- 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.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Before the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Book a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Harmondsworth
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. 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. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For a London address like Harmondsworth, it helps to know about controlled parking before the day, along with any off-street space. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Useful tips for Harmondsworth property owners
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- File each roof report for future reference
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Deal with urgent items first
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in.
