How a landlord roof survey works in Parsons Green
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders often want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey converted houses, rented houses and blocks of flats, and people most often book us about worn ridges, hips and verges and slipped or missing slates and tiles.
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 Parsons Green, as across London, that is why a roof needs a careful look rather than a glance from the street. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Deal with urgent items first
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Keep the loft space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.

How the survey works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes 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 scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Advice
Landlord roof surveys in Parsons Green: local notes
The wider area around Parsons Green has a long history of building, with Fulham Palace about 0.8 miles west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that cannot be seen from the pavement. If your home in Parsons Green is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you look after a building such as Lady Margaret School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Putney Exchange, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

Parsons Green questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Imperial Wharf station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Parsons Green?
Parking in Parsons Green, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take an hour or two for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You will then get the report by email.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t normally stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. In Parsons Green, 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.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Parsons Green?
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
If you live in an older home near St Dionis, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
