Landlord roof survey in Raynes Park
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We can’t advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Typical surveys look at cracked or leaning shared chimneys and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, on flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and rented houses.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. For a house in Raynes Park with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- File each roof report for future reference
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
Common roof problems in Raynes Park
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs or when.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
Anyone responsible for a site like West Wimbledon Primary School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before you book any roof surveyor

- How long the report takes to arrive
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
FAQs for Raynes Park
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Raynes Park station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Raynes Park?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available as you book.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Do you cover Raynes Park?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Raynes Park included.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs frequently. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be and we’ll say so.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait, so spending can be spread sensibly. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork, which can lead to damp inside. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
All our prices include VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
Why us?
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- Customer satisfaction of 98%

Landlord roof surveys in Raynes Park: local notes
With Southside House about 0.9 miles north, Raynes Park sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
For landlords with property near Raynes Park station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. If you live in an older home near St Saviour's Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is frequently on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Raynes Park runs like any other.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Keep pets in another room
