Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hayes
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. Typical surveys look at damaged pots and flaunching and blocked gutters over flats, on shared roofs, rented houses and gutters and downpipes.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. Homes in Hayes are no exception. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Shared roofs
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Rented houses
- Blocks of flats
What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The address and postcode of the property
- When you need the report by
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Hayes questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Hayes?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
I let a flat near Hayes (Kent) station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we’re allowed to be and we’ll say so.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you test for 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.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
Useful tips for Hayes property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- File each roof report for future reference
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp straight away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.

What else we do in Hayes
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Hayes
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved from what’s visible.
People normally book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Leaks into upper flats
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
If you look after a building such as Hawes Down Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
What to check before booking
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What the survey will not cover
- Are they insured for the work?
- When you’ll get the report
How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so the back of the roof is frequently seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Book a survey

Hayes homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Bromley Palace, about 2 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Hayes goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Hayes is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Landlords with a home close to Hayes (Kent) station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. The streets around a church such as St Mary the Virgin are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
