About our landlord roof survey in Wimbledon Park
We survey let and shared roofs in Wimbledon Park and across London and the South East. Time on site typically takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a report with photos. We survey rented houses, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are slipped or missing slates and tiles and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, often with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails frequently give out first and let slates slip. Homes in Wimbledon Park are no exception. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Wimbledon Park: your questions answered
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Earlsfield station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Is my home in Wimbledon Park listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Deal with urgent items first
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Ask residents to report damp right away
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and the rest budgeted for later.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a London area like Wimbledon Park, the main things to sort out are parking and access: 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 loft space and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Getting a price
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.

What else we do in Wimbledon Park
What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Landlord roof surveys around Wimbledon Park
Historic houses like Southside House, about 1.8 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Wimbledon Park goes. 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. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Earlsfield station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you live near a park such as King George's Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Luke, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Why act early in Wimbledon Park
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.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
