Landlord Roof Survey in Wimbledon Chase
Not sure what state the let or shared roof is in? You can book a landlord roof survey in Wimbledon Chase and across Greater London, with plain-English findings.

For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
How a landlord roof survey works in Wimbledon Chase
With a shared roof, it’s 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. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. If you’re worried about ceiling stains reported by tenants and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, on converted houses, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes alike.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails frequently give out first and let slates slip. Homes in Wimbledon Chase are no exception. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a visit in Wimbledon Chase, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. 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 roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you beforehand.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work

What happens if roof problems are left?
Water that gets into one flat can affect others below. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.

Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.

Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we will say so.
Useful tips for Wimbledon Chase property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. The report is written in plain language.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.

Landlord roof surveys in Wimbledon Chase: local notes
Southside House, about 1 mile north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wimbledon Chase. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
For businesses in and around places like Southside Wandsworth, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. For landlords with property near Wimbledon Chase station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wimbledon Chase Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
