Landlord roof survey in Osterley: what you get
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We can’t advise on what your lease says 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. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. We survey shared roofs, converted houses and rented houses, and people most frequently book us about mortar falling from ridges and verges and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. In Osterley, as across London, that is why a roof needs a close look rather than a glance from the street. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a proper look too.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

For landlords and managing agents
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a London conversion, the way into the roof space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. Where that’s the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Otherwise, the visit in Osterley runs like any other.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Tell us about parking before the day
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Osterley
A roof nobody lives directly under can be easy to overlook. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
Common reasons to book include:
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
If you own a rental within reach of Isleworth station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the price includes VAT
Osterley homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Osterley House, about 0.3 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Osterley goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. 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.
Take a building like Isleworth and Syon School for Boys: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For businesses in and around places such as Treaty Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

How we price landlord roof surveys
We confirm the price for your roof before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
Why act early in Osterley
An independent report helps when owners need to agree on roof work. Without a survey, it is one opinion against another. In Osterley, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Why book with us
- Surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Clear package prices, including VAT

Tips that help
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.
Questions from Osterley
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Osterley?
It rarely stops a survey, but it is worth planning. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we’ll work around them.
Is my home in Osterley listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How much time does the visit need?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you work in Osterley?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Osterley.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No, it focuses on the roof. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey, and it’s not a structural engineer’s report.
Who typically books a landlord or block roof survey?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
