Landlord roof survey in Putney Vale: what you get
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We check the roof from each safe vantage point including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. We survey shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are slipped or missing slates and tiles and loose ridge or hip tiles.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, where the roof is typically a shared part of the building. Whoever looks after the building needs a clear picture of the roof, chimneys and gutters. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. With a written report and photos, everyone can plan from the same facts.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Questions from Putney Vale
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Putney Vale?
It rarely stops a survey, but it’s worth planning. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we will work around them.
I let a flat near Raynes Park station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Putney Vale?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily, and standing water follows. We check them as part of the survey.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls frequently hide gutters behind them. They’re checked where safe access allows.
Landlord roof surveys in Putney Vale: local notes
With Southside House about 1.5 miles south-east, Putney Vale sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Outer London has a good many Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Homes near green spaces such as Wimbledon Common can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you let a flat or house near Raynes Park station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

When to book a survey in Putney Vale
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved from what’s visible.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Hall School Wimbledon, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What else we do in Putney Vale
What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Putney Vale we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Check pets are kept safely away
How to book
