Landlord roof survey in Ruislip Gardens
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We check the roof from each safe vantage point including the loft and flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. If you’ve noticed worn ridges, hips and verges and choked outlets and gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Much of London’s housing is flats, in converted houses or purpose-built blocks, where the roof is normally a shared part of the building. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it’s in and what work is coming up. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. With a written report and photos, everyone can plan from the same facts.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather and get close attention.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. They’re checked where safe access allows.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. In Ruislip Gardens, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below, which can lead to damp inside. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Common roof problems in Ruislip Gardens
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it, so maintenance gets put off. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
Homes near green spaces like Church Field Gardens can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What experience they bring
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Ruislip Gardens
The wider area around Ruislip Gardens has a long history of building, with Ickenham Hall about 1.3 miles west. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Paul, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Landlords with a home close to South Ruislip station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

What happens on the day
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In Ruislip Gardens, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.

- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you in advance.
