What happens on the day

Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In North Wembley, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is frequently by permit or pay-and-display, so it’s useful to know what’s near you. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they frequently give the best view of a rear addition.

  1. You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
  2. We confirm the access we will need.
  3. We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
  4. The report records areas we couldn’t access.
  5. Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.

How to prepare

  • Check pets are kept safely away
  • Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
  • For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Advice

About our landlord roof survey in North Wembley

Our landlord and block roof surveys cover North Wembley and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen, and by drone where it is applicable. A written report with photos follows. Typical surveys look at cracked or leaning shared chimneys and blocked gutters over flats, across shared roofs, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks.

A London butterfly roof slopes down to a central valley gutter that drains to the back of the house. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. If your home in North Wembley has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.

You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Local roofs in North Wembley

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 often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Northolt Manor, about 2.9 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around North Wembley. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.

Shop and office owners around London Designer Outlet may find that a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. If you own a rental within reach of Wembley Central station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in North Wembley

A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.

Problems we come across often include:

  • Cracked or lifting flashings
  • Damp or stains in top-floor flats
  • Slipped or missing slates and tiles
  • Worn ridges, hips and verges

Living close to Preston Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
  • Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
  • Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
  • Their insurance cover

What to expect from a roof survey

Why it is worth a survey now in North Wembley

On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without a survey, it is one opinion against another. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.

Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Why book with us

  • 5,000+ roofs surveyed
  • Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
  • Photos and a written report every time
  • PI and public liability insurance

Surveys for landlords and agents in North Wembley

An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.

We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof, useful for planning maintenance.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in North Wembley

Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Wembley Central station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.

Can parking be tricky for a visit in North Wembley?

It depends on the street. If North Wembley has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer.

Do you look in the loft space?

If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.

Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?

No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.

Will you fly a drone over my roof?

Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.

How experienced are you?

We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.

Will you walk on the roof?

Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.

How the survey changes by roof type

Shared chimney stacks

Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.

Gutters and downpipes

Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. Any problems are photographed.

Useful tips for North Wembley property owners

Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:

  • Act on high-priority defects quickly
  • Survey the roof on a regular cycle
  • Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
  • Check the roof space can be accessed

The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.

Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults usually get worse.
