Landlord roof survey in Seething Wells, Greater London
We take a careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Seething Wells, and put it all in a written report with photographs.
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Leaks into upper flats
- Missing or loose roof coverings
What happens if roof problems are left?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait, so spending can be spread sensibly. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
All our prices include VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.

About our landlord roof survey in Seething Wells
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are missing or loose roof coverings and blocked gutters over flats.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. Homes in Seething Wells are no exception. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a close look too.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Seething Wells
How do I find out if my home in Seething Wells is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
I let a flat near Surbiton station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you work in Seething Wells?
Yes. Seething Wells is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Seething Wells?
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.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Flashings that have come away
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damaged pots and flaunching
Trees in and around Hampton Court Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
Questions to ask before booking
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What exactly goes into their report
- What the survey won’t cover
- How soon the report will arrive
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Deal with urgent items first
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
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.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.
What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect about 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In Seething Wells, as in much of London, lots of properties are flats or terraces without side access, so the back of the roof is frequently seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, let us know when you book.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Prices for landlord roof surveys in Seething Wells
We confirm the price for your roof before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Roof area
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Landlord roof surveys around Seething Wells
Hampton Court Palace, about 1.3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Seething Wells. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Outer London has a good many Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in 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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Take a building like Maple Infants' School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Take an older house close to St Andrew's Church: old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
