Yeading Landlord Roof Survey
Landlord roof surveys around Yeading, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Check the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
About our landlord roof survey in Yeading
The lease usually decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We do not give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs, and people most often book us about leaks into upper flats and failed flashings at walls and chimneys.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, often with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. In Yeading, as across London, that is why a roof needs a proper look rather than a glance from the street. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a close look too.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

What we look for on each type of roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we are given access to, and the report says what was seen.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Yeading: your questions answered
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Yeading?
Sometimes, yes. If Yeading has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Southall station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when you book.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do you cover Yeading for landlord roof surveys?
Yes. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Yeading.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
What we cannot see
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Blocks of flats
- Gutters and downpipes
- Converted houses
- Rented houses
- Shared roofs
- Flat roofs on blocks
Leave it or get it looked at?
Tenants can only report what shows inside. A ceiling stain frequently means water has been coming in for some time. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. 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 alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Why us?

What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. On timing, it normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In Yeading, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.

- We confirm the access we’ll need.

Advice
Landlord roof surveys in Yeading: local notes
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. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Historic houses like Northolt Manor, about 1.4 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Yeading goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Chimes, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. Homes near green spaces such as Northala Fields can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn. For landlords with property near Southall station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Roof area
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Height and safe access
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
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.
Helping us price your survey
We will usually ask about:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The kind of building and roof involved
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.
