Landlord roof survey in Queensbury, Greater London
We take a careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Queensbury, and put it all in a report with photographs.
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In Queensbury, 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 often give the best view of a rear addition.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- 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 roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

Advice
Landlord roof survey in Queensbury: what you get
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. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on any day of the week, which can make access easier to arrange. Common reasons to book are leaking joints at party walls and loose ridge or hip tiles, on rented houses, converted houses and shared roofs.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails frequently give out first and let slates slip. Homes in Queensbury are no exception. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a close look too.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Queensbury
Historic houses like Headstone Manor, about 2.7 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Queensbury goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently 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. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For landlords with property near Kenton station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Glebe Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Take an older house close to All Saints Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
It is a careful look at the let or shared roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check

Useful tips for Queensbury property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
FAQs for Queensbury
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Queensbury?
It depends on the street. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well, and a driveway is even better.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Kenton station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. 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 is disturbed.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Queensbury?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Let us know the address and a little about the roof. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Will you check the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
