Roofers in London: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners

You’re responsible for the roof - whether it’s routine upkeep or full replacement - and you can hire whoever you wish. Before starting, check if you need planning permission (rare, but applies in conservation areas) and always keep hold of warranties and inspection reports.

Renters

Leaks? Missing tiles? Report it to your landlord or managing agent. It’s their job to sort structural issues like roofing. If it’s urgent (e.g. water pouring in), flag it as an emergency - ideally in writing.

Landlords

You’re legally responsible for keeping the roof safe and weatherproof under the Landlord and Tenant Act. If work’s needed:

• Use insured, competent roofers
• Keep a record of all maintenance
• Act quickly to avoid tenant complaints or claims

Checkatrade can help you arrange repairs, even if you’re managing properties remotely.

Storm damage? Sudden leak? Missing tiles letting in water? Emergency roofing services may be needed for urgent issues such as:

• Leak detection and patching
• Temporary waterproofing
