Landlord roof survey in Tingrith
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. We survey shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are loose ridge or hip tiles and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped.
Somewhere as small as Tingrith, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Deal with urgent items first
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Tingrith
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. Outbuildings and barns around Tingrith are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Tingrith questions
Is Tingrith within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
I let a flat near Harlington station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The report follows by email.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details as you book.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
How the survey works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere as small as Tingrith, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book

Related advice
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Tingrith?
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
Look out for signs like these:
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Leaks into upper flats
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
For landlords with property near Harlington station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether you get a written report with photos

Landlord roof surveys around Tingrith
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Whatever the covering, it is often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 1.8 miles north-east lies Flitwick Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Tingrith has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Harlington Upper School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
