Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Isleworth
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We are often asked to look into standing water on a flat roof and slipped or missing slates and tiles, across flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and blocks of flats.
A London butterfly roof slopes down to a central valley gutter that drains to the back of the house. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. If your home in Isleworth has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Useful tips for Isleworth property owners
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- File each roof report for future reference
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Keep the roof space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Isleworth
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Questions from Isleworth
Is parking a problem for a survey in Isleworth?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Is my home in Isleworth listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
How long will you be on site?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No, we don’t advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Who typically books a landlord or block roof survey?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with residents’ and RTM management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
What we do, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Surveys in Isleworth can be booked for any day of the week. London parking is frequently by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Getting a price
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Isleworth
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. 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 Syon House about 0.9 miles north-east, Isleworth sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Shop and office owners around Treaty Centre may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. For site and facilities teams at buildings like St Mary's Catholic Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you live near a park such as Old Deer Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.

What we look for on each type of roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area and you’ll need to arrange it.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded where we can see them safely.
Why it is worth a survey now in Isleworth
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. London’s older roofs often have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
What you get with us
- 5,000+ surveys completed
