Landlord roof survey in West Twyford: what you get
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 so work can be planned, not rushed. The findings come in a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to see how the roof is changing. We survey rented houses, blocks of flats and converted houses, and people most often book us about gutters overflowing onto walls and parapets and upstands in poor repair.
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. If your home in West Twyford has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- File each roof report for future reference
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photographs help. The report is written in plain language.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. Early reports let you act before damage spreads.
FAQs for West Twyford
How do I find out if my home in West Twyford is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
I let a flat near Stonebridge Park station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Can you tell me if my roof has 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.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it’s agreed before booking.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. A survey looks at the roof itself. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.

Local roofs in West Twyford
Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. The wider area around West Twyford has a long history of building, with Pitzhanger Manor about 1.8 miles south-west. 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.
For landlords with property near Stonebridge Park station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Take a building like West Twyford Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

What else we do in West Twyford
What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a London conversion, the way into the roof space is frequently from a communal landing or the top flat. Where that is the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- 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.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
Arrange a survey
When you are ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or email us. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
