Landlord roof surveys in Wembley: local notes
With Northolt Manor about 3.4 miles west, Wembley sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently 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. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Shop and office owners around London Designer Outlet may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. If you own a rental within reach of North Wembley station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Wembley is about 5 miles west of Hampstead, in Greater London. We visit Wembley as part of our work across Greater London, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Wembley is one of the towns and villages in Greater London we cover. We also survey roofs in London.
Here we cover the HA9, HA0, HA1 and NW9 postcode area for landlord roof surveys. That includes homes and businesses on Market Way, London Road and Queenscourt. With the A404 and A4088 close by, Wembley is easy for us to reach. We also cover Wembley Park (1 mile east), Preston (1 mile north), Mapesbury (1 mile south-east), Tokyngton (1 mile south-east) and Stonebridge Park (1 mile south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as London (10 miles south-east), City of Westminster (7 miles south-east), Marylebone (7 miles south-east), Kensington (6 miles south-east), St Pancras (8 miles east) and Shoreditch (10 miles east).
Around Wembley
Around Wembley, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Preston Manor School, Preston Park and Hilton London Wembley pub. Wembley’s nearest station is North Wembley station, about 0.5 miles west. Nearby you’ll also find St. Mark's Hospital (1.5 miles north-west) and London Designer Outlet (0.5 miles south-east). Not far away are Masons Field and Castlebar Hill.
How a landlord roof survey works in Wembley
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when you book. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. We survey converted houses, blocks of flats and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are ponding or splits on flat roofs and loose ridge or hip tiles.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, 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 Wembley are no exception. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a careful look too.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Questions from Wembley
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near North Wembley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Wembley?
It depends on the street. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well, and a driveway is even better.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Wembley?
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
For an older house near a landmark like St Augustine, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
What we cannot see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we look at
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Shared roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Rented houses
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. From the street, a London terrace usually shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Wembley we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Keep pets in another room

Advice
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Why it is worth a survey now in Wembley
Budgets work best when they’re based on the roof’s actual condition. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait, so spending can be spread sensibly. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why book us in Wembley
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Every finding written up with photos
- An independent look at the roof
- Satisfaction rate of 98%

Landlords, agents and block managers in Wembley
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
