Your repair responsibilities
The government's guidance for private renting says landlords are always responsible for repairs to the property's structure and exterior. Roofs, gutters and chimneys are where water usually gets in, so keeping them in good repair helps prevent damp complaints inside.
Planned maintenance or one-off repairs
Planned maintenance
Regular checks catch small faults before tenants report them. Before winter is a good time, to deal with loose tiles and blocked gutters before the storms. See our roof maintenance and roof inspections pages.
Repairs when something goes wrong
When a tenant reports a leak, we find the cause and fix it. If water is coming in now, see our emergency roof repairs.
Working with tenants and agents
We can arrange access with you, your tenant or your letting agent, and tell you what we found and what we'd recommend, so you can decide what goes ahead.
