Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Neasden
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Neasden and the rest of London and the South East. A visit typically takes an hour or two for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We inspect from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a report with photographs. If you’re worried about cracked or leaning shared chimneys and leaking joints at party walls, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and shared roofs alike.
A London butterfly roof slopes down to a central valley gutter that drains to the back of the house. From the street you see only a parapet wall, so blocked outlets and split linings go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling. For a house in Neasden with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before you book.
Booking your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- When you need the report by
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Neasden
How do I find out if my home in Neasden is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Neasden?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when booking. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs are not included, but contractors can price from it.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
Anyone who looks after a let or shared building can book it: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No, it is a roof survey. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey and doesn’t replace a structural engineer’s report.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Common roof problems in Neasden
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Planning is difficult without knowing the roof’s condition and how soon.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Leaks into upper flats
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Blocked gutters over flats
Trees in and around Gladstone Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photos.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.

Landlord roof surveys in Neasden: local notes
Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses like Fenton House, about 2.9 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Neasden goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you run a business near London Designer Outlet, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. Take an older house close to St Catherine's Church Neasden with St Paul: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

How it works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. 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.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
