About our landlord roof survey in Radlett
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We can’t advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. If you’re worried about ponding or splits on flat roofs and choked outlets and gutters, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a smaller place like Radlett, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Radlett is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Advice
Radlett questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Radlett station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you cover smaller places like Radlett?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
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.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slipped slates on older roofs can point to corroded nails. The report records it.
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner and the report helps with that.

What else we do in Radlett
What affects the price in Radlett
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The shape of the roof and its details
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
Booking your survey
These details help when you contact us:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
DIY checks: what’s safe
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
What a landlord roof survey does not cover
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Responsibility under a lease
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.

Radlett homes and their roofs
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. About 3.3 miles west lies High Elms Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Radlett has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like St John's Church of England Infant and Nursery School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Shop and office owners around Harlequin Centre may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. Landlords with a home close to Radlett station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
