Landlord roof survey in Pinner Green: what you get
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We’re frequently asked to look into cracked or lifting flashings and ponding or splits on flat roofs, on shared roofs, blocks of flats and converted houses.
Much of London’s housing is flats, in converted houses or purpose-built blocks, where the roof is normally a shared part of the building. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it is in and what work is coming up. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. With a written report and photos, everyone can plan from the same facts.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes between one and two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. From the street, a London terrace normally shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Pinner Green we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- 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.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Book a survey
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Advice
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. The report is written in plain language.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.

Landlord roof surveys in Pinner Green: local notes
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Pinner Green is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With Headstone Manor about 1.7 miles east, Pinner Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Homes near green spaces such as Eastcote House Gardens can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near St. George's Shopping Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.

What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Pinner Green?
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants frequently lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Harlyn Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Pinner Green: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Pinner Green?
It can be, so it’s useful to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when booking. That way the visit can be planned around it.
How do I find out if my home in Pinner Green is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Will the survey cover the whole building?
No. Our survey covers the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It isn’t a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. We note what we see from inside.
