Landlord roof survey in West Brompton: what you get
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, or after a tenant reports a leak. Agents and freeholders frequently want a survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. We survey gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged pots and flaunching and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
A London butterfly roof slopes down to a central valley gutter that drains to the back of the house. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. For a house in West Brompton with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
Where we can’t see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Why get it checked now?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. That’s a good reason to find problems early, while there is time to plan, rather than in a rush after a leak.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
Why us?
- Clear package prices, inc. VAT
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help

West Brompton questions
Is parking a problem for a survey in West Brompton?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available as you book.
Can a landlord with a rental near West Brompton station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How much is a survey?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before you book, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The report follows by email.
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Agents frequently choose the package that suits the building.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.

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 between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

When to book a survey in West Brompton
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
If you live in an older home near Church of St Luke, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
