Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Lampton
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We look at the roof from every safe vantage point 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 gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses, and the problems we are asked to look at most are slipped or missing slates and tiles and worn ridges, hips and verges.
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 Lampton has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Deal with urgent items first
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Keep the loft space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
Common roof problems in Lampton
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Flashings that have come away
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Trees in and around Inwood Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

What a landlord roof survey does not cover
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Responsibility under a lease

FAQs for Lampton
Is parking a problem for a survey in Lampton?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Hounslow station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Lampton?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Why get it checked now?
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. That’s a good reason to find problems early, while there’s time to plan, rather than in a rush after a leak.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why book with us
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Visits on any day of the week

Local roofs in Lampton
Outer London has a good many Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Lampton is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 1.1 miles north lies Osterley House, a reminder of how long the area around Lampton has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like Alexandra Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. If you run a business near Treaty Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a London conversion, the way into the roof space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets in another room
