Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Round Bush
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too when they’re in the agreed scope. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it’s safe to see them and the loft where access is safe. Typical surveys look at ponding or splits on flat roofs and worn ridges, hips and verges, across blocks of flats, converted houses and rented houses.
Some older homes in villages like Round Bush are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How the survey changes by roof type
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.
Gutters and downpipes
Valley and box gutters on blocks can overflow inside. They’re an important part of the survey.
Round Bush questions
Is Round Bush within the area you cover?
Yes. Round Bush is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
I let a flat near Radlett station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How we price landlord roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
These details help when you contact us:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- The kind of building and roof involved
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. We will confirm the price before you book.
Useful tips for Round Bush property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Make sure the loft space can be accessed
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Deal with urgent items first
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem usually is.
Towns and villages near Round Bush
What else we do in Round Bush
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Round Bush, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- 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
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Responsibility under a lease
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Gutters and downpipes
- Rented houses
- Shared roofs
- Blocks of flats
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Converted houses
What you can safely check yourself
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Round Bush
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. About 2.9 miles north-west lies High Elms Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Round Bush has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Homes near green spaces such as Garston Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. Shop and office owners around Harlequin Centre may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. Landlords with a home close to Radlett station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
