Roof survey in Northwick Park
Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. Common reasons to book are loose chimney pots and condensation or damp timbers in the loft, on ridges, hips and valleys, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles.
Much of London’s housing is flats, in converted houses or purpose-built blocks, where the roof is normally a shared part of the building. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it is in and what work is coming up. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. A report gives everyone the same picture to plan from, with photos.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Northwick Park
Landlords, agents and building managers in Northwick Park and across Greater London can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Let us know about past leaks
- Leave roof access to professionals
Keep the report with your property records. It’s a useful baseline for future surveys, and buyers may ask about the roof when you sell.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Fragments of slate or tile on the ground mean something has shifted. Prompt repairs stop small problems growing.
Common questions in Northwick Park
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Northwick Park?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway as you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Kenton station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Can you check whether my roof contains asbestos?
No. Asbestos was banned in UK construction in 1999, so older buildings may have it. Our report notes any materials that might, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What’s covered in a roof inspection?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, plus the loft space where there’s safe access. You get a report with photos and recommendations.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Planned work is less stressful than an emergency. With a report, you can tackle the urgent jobs first and plan the rest, rather than waiting for something to fail. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork, which can lead to damp inside. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take an hour or two for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a London conversion, the way into the roof space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it is useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
Getting a price
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.

What a roof survey looks like in Northwick Park
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. If your home in Northwick Park is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you live in an older home near Saint Cuthberts Church, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Living close to Preston Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. Headstone Manor lies about 1.9 miles north-west, so building around Northwick Park goes back a long way. If your house is among the older ones, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up.
