Landlord Roof Survey in Leaves Green
We take a careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Leaves Green, and put it all in a written report with photographs.
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Flashings that have come away
How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls frequently hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We go into the loft where it’s safe looking for water marks and gaps.
Landlord roof survey in Leaves Green
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a photo-illustrated written report to keep on file for the building. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to keep maintenance plans current. Common reasons to book are flashings that have come away and damaged pots and flaunching, on rented houses, blocks of flats and converted houses.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. For a house in Leaves Green with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Questions from Leaves Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Hayes (Kent) station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Leaves Green?
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.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Leaves Green?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you work in Leaves Green?
Yes, we do. Leaves Green is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
What we’re asked to look at in Leaves Green
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.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
Leaves Green is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway when booking.
What to check before booking
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone

Landlord roof surveys around Leaves Green
Historic houses like Down House, about 1.1 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Leaves Green goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you let a flat or house near Hayes (Kent) station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Anyone responsible for a site like Meridian High School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Responsibility under a lease
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Blocks of flats
- Gutters and downpipes
- Shared roofs
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Converted houses
- Rented houses
The survey, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. From the street, a London terrace usually shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Leaves Green we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Book a survey
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
