Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wealdstone
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The roof space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told beforehand. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need as you book. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. If you’ve noticed damp or stains in top-floor flats and parapets and upstands in poor repair, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. For a house in Wealdstone with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Wealdstone
The wider area around Wealdstone has a long history of building, with Headstone Manor about 0.9 miles west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Outer London has plenty of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Take a building like Marlborough Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you run a business near St. George's Shopping Centre, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.

What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
- A full building survey of every part of the property
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will recommend the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Wealdstone
- Converted houses
- Shared roofs
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Blocks of flats
- Rented houses
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.

Wealdstone: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wealdstone?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
I let a flat near Harrow & Wealdstone station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, including who will give access on the day.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Wealdstone?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
How the survey works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a visit in Wealdstone, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Booking a survey
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.

How the survey changes by roof type
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. We check gutters, outlets and downpipes where they can be seen.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We note what we can see.
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- File each roof report for future reference
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Left alone, minor faults normally get worse.
