Landlord Roof Survey in Regents Park
A careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Regents Park, and put it all in a report with photos.
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
About our landlord roof survey in Regents Park
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We check the roof from each safe vantage point, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. Typical surveys look at mortar falling from ridges and verges and standing water on a flat roof, across flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and rented houses.
Around Regents Park, gardens, hedges and nearby trees can mean leaves and moss end up on roofs and in gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls, and moss holds water against tiles. It is the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Local roofs in Regents Park
Regents Park is within about 1 mile of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
The streets around a church like Church of the Holy Trinity are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you let a flat or house near Millbrook (Hants) station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Give residents notice before a survey
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Regents Park
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Which survey package you book
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. A visit to a smaller place like Regents Park is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Check pets are kept safely away

Advice
Common questions in Regents Park
Is Regents Park within the area you cover?
Yes, Regents Park is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
I let a flat near Millbrook (Hants) station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Regents Park?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. We survey seven days a week.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you look in the loft space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Why get it checked now?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Homes in smaller places like Regents Park can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. You will know the exact price before booking.

What we’re asked to look at in Regents Park
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved, as far as can be seen.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Leaks into upper flats
- Standing water on a flat roof
Trees in and around St James' Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What experience they bring
- What they will not be able to tell you
- What happens after the report arrives
Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
On blocks, the roof space may be reached through a flat or a communal hatch, so it needs arranging.
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work and the report helps with that.
