Landlord roof survey in Hurlingham
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’ve noticed standing water on a flat roof and damaged pots and flaunching, we can find out what’s behind it.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. From the street you see only a parapet wall, so blocked outlets and split linings go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling. If your home in Hurlingham has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the let or shared roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Hurlingham
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. In Hurlingham, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

When to book a survey in Hurlingham
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
Common reasons to book include:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Leaks into upper flats
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
Living close to Parsons Green (park) is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In Hurlingham, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it’s useful to know what’s near you. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Let us know about parking before the day
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Related advice
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Questions from Hurlingham
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Hurlingham?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Is my home in Hurlingham listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
How do I book a survey in Hurlingham?
Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Do you cover Hurlingham for landlord roof surveys?
Yes. We cover Hurlingham and the rest of Greater London. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.

- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What to let us know when you contact us
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors

When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
Landlord roof surveys around Hurlingham
Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have Welsh slate roofs. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. The wider area around Hurlingham has a long history of building, with Fulham Palace about 0.7 miles west. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For businesses in and around places like Putney Exchange, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. Take an older house close to St Dionis: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
