Landlord roof survey in Hounslow, Greater London
Landlord roof surveys in Hounslow and the rest of Greater London. We survey on any day of the week.
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Leaks into upper flats
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
Tips that help
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Landlord roof survey in Hounslow: what you get
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, 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. We are often asked to look into ponding or splits on flat roofs and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, across rented houses, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails often give out first and let slates slip. In Hounslow, as across London, that’s why a roof needs a proper look rather than a glance from the street. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a close look too.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Hounslow book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes about one to two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. In Hounslow, as in much of London, a good many properties are flats or terraces without side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents as you book.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Let us know about parking before the day

Local roofs in Hounslow
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Hounslow 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. The wider area around Hounslow has a long history of building, with Osterley House about 1.6 miles north. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Homes near green spaces such as Inwood Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. For businesses in and around places like Treaty Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. If you let a flat or house near Hounslow station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How big the roof is
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we can help you choose.
Helping us price your survey
There’s no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Anything about access we should know
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
What we look for on each type of roof
Roof spaces and lofts
The roof space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We go into the loft where it’s safe looking for water marks and gaps.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often last around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Hounslow
Is my home in Hounslow 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 Hounslow?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when booking. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
How do I book a survey in Hounslow?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
