Landlord Roof Survey in Heathrow
Need a landlord roof survey in Heathrow? We can help, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Leaks into upper flats
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Around Heathrow, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- 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 we arrive
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Arrange a survey
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Heathrow
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. We survey rented houses, shared roofs and blocks of flats, and people most often book us about ponding or splits on flat roofs and leaks into upper flats.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The size of the roof
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- When you need the report by
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or email us. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Common questions in Heathrow
Is my home in Heathrow listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to Heathrow?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Who normally books a landlord or block roof survey?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No. We survey the roof, not the whole building. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Do you look in the roof space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Heathrow?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.

What else we do in Heathrow
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. The report is written in plain language.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Heathrow
With Osterley House about 4.6 miles east, Heathrow sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you own a rental within reach of Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you look after a building such as Bedfont Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Heathrow is about 2 miles north-west of Feltham, in Surrey. Heathrow gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a close look at whatever is safely visible, photographs and a clear written report. Across Surrey, we cover Heathrow. There’s also a page for London.
Landlord roof surveys in TW6 are booked the same way as anywhere else. If you are just outside Heathrow, we cover West Bedfont (1 mile south-west), Hatton (1 mile east), Bedfont (1 mile south-east), Stanwell (1 mile south-west) and Harlington (1 mile north-east). Further out, we also cover Woking (12 miles south-west), Camberley (15 miles south-west), Epsom (12 miles south-east), Ewell (12 miles south-east), Egham (5 miles south-west) and Walton-on-Thames (6 miles south).
What’s near Heathrow
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Queen's Arms and Space Studio West London. Heathrow has its own railway station: Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station. Other landmarks nearby include Spelthorne Museum (3.5 miles south-west) and Harlington (1.6 miles north). Not far away are Staines Reservoirs and Crane Meadows.
When to book a survey in Heathrow
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Minor faults can go unseen until a tenant reports a leak and by then more has been damaged.
Problems we come across often include:
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Treaty Centre, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.
What to check before booking
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Their insurance cover
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
