How a landlord roof survey works in Moor Park
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We don’t give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey converted houses, gutters and downpipes and rented houses, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and flashings that have come away.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, where the roof is normally a shared part of the building. Whoever looks after the building needs a clear picture of the roof, chimneys and gutters. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. With a written report and photographs, everyone can plan from the same facts.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
What we’re asked to look at in Moor Park
On a shared roof, it is not always clear who should act. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it, so maintenance gets put off. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
Living close to King George V Playing Fields is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Moor Park: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a survey in Moor Park?
It rarely stops a survey, but it is worth planning. Tell us what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Can a landlord with a rental near Rickmansworth station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. It does not include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- House, block, shop or office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or send us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Moor Park
Headstone Manor, about 3.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Moor Park. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Outer London has plenty of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Landlords with a home close to Rickmansworth station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you run a business near Harlequin Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
We do not advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition that everyone can refer to.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year and include any valley or parapet gutters. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can be seen safely, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Surveys in Moor Park can be booked for any day of the week. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it is useful to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
