What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys

Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:

  • Commercial roofs and larger buildings
  • The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
  • How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
  • How big the roof is

Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

Booking your survey

You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:

  • The kind of building and roof involved
  • Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
  • Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
  • Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work

We survey roofs seven days a week. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hatton

A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them, along with the loft space where there is safe access. Typical surveys look at blocked gutters over flats and missing or loose roof coverings, across gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks.

London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, often with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. In Hatton, as across London, that’s why a roof needs a close look rather than a glance from the street. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a proper look too.

You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

How it works

We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it’s useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Hatton runs like any other.

  1. You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
  2. We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
  3. The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
  4. The report records areas we couldn’t access.
  5. Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.

How to prepare

  • Clear the way to the loft hatch
  • Find any records of previous roof work
  • For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

How to book

If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Advice

When to book a survey in Hatton

People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Slipped slates, cracked flashings and blocked gutters can sit unnoticed for years particularly where the roof cannot be seen from the street.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
  • Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
  • Mortar falling from ridges and verges
  • Ponding or splits on flat roofs

Anyone responsible for a site like Cranford Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Before booking any roof surveyor

  • If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
  • How much experience they have with roofs like yours
  • What the survey will not cover
  • Whether the price includes VAT

What a good roof survey covers

What we look for on each type of roof

Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions

Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands as far as safe access allows.

Party-wall upstands and parapets

Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.

What this survey cannot tell you

In fairness, a roof survey has limits:

  • Roof areas we weren’t given access to
  • Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
  • Legal advice on leases or service charges

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you before booking. What our survey covers.

Local roofs in Hatton

In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. With Osterley House about 3.4 miles north-east, Hatton sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

If you live near a park such as Hounslow Heath, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. For landlords with property near Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Questions from Hatton

Is my home in Hatton listed or in a conservation area?

Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.

Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Hatton?

Typically it’s manageable with a little notice. Tell us what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.

How much is a landlord roof survey?

Our price is from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Will you fly a drone over my roof?

Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.

How much time does the visit need?

It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We will give you an idea as you book.

Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?

Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.

Will you check the loft?

If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
