Shepperton Landlord Roof Survey
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in Shepperton? You can book a landlord roof survey in Shepperton and across Surrey.
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Flashings that have come away
- Choked outlets and gutters
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Shepperton
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. You get a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. If you are worried about damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped, we can find out what’s behind it.
Around Shepperton, 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. 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.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Honest limits
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Rented houses
- Shared roofs
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
Why get it checked now?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first so you know what you are asking contractors to price. Around Shepperton, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
Why book us in Shepperton
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

Landlord roof surveys in Shepperton: local notes
Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. The wider area around Shepperton has a long history of building, with The Homewood about 3.8 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like Thamesmead School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Nicholas, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Landlords with a home close to Shepperton station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Shepperton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Shepperton?
Yes, Shepperton is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
I let a flat near Shepperton station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Checking the roof from the ground
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. Most surveys take an hour or two for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Shepperton, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- 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 safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
