Landlord roof survey in North Hyde, Greater London
Landlord roof surveys in North Hyde, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. You get a clear report with photos.
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
What happens if roof problems are left?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. In North Hyde, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below, which can lead to damp inside. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What you get with us

- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help

Landlord roof survey in North Hyde: what you get
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen, along with the roof space where there is safe access. Typical surveys look at leaking joints at party walls and damp or stains in top-floor flats, on gutters and downpipes, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks.
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. If your home in North Hyde has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in North Hyde
About 1.3 miles east lies Osterley House, a reminder of how long the area around North Hyde has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Treaty Centre, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Norwood Green Infant and Nursery School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Trees in and around Minet Country Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters.

Landlords, agents and block managers in North Hyde
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
How the survey changes by roof type
Shared chimney stacks
Damp in a chimney breast can start at the top of the stack. We record anything visible.
Gutters and downpipes
Blocked gutters cause many leaks into top-floor flats. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected where they can be seen.
North Hyde: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in North Hyde is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
I let a flat near Southall station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.

What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a London conversion, the way into the loft 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 checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Advice
Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
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.
