FAQs for Curling Tye Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Hatfield Peverel station book a roof survey?
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.
How do I find out if my home in Curling Tye Green is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Does the season matter for a gutter survey?
Whenever suits you. If water is already spilling over, book sooner rather than later as overflowing water can damage walls.
How fast do I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What happens after the survey?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Do you survey at weekends?
Yes, weekend visits are possible as well as weekdays. To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Gutter survey in Curling Tye Green
We look at the rainwater system above ground level, from the gutters down to where the downpipes meet the ground. It is not a CCTV drain survey and we can’t see inside buried drains. Where water seems to be backing up from below ground, the report will say so, with a suggestion to book a separate drain survey. Problems above ground, from split hoppers to leaking downpipes, are photographed and noted. Common reasons to book are fascia boards damaged by overflowing water and overflowing valley or parapet gutters, on eaves gutters, valley gutters and downpipes.
Somewhere as small as Curling Tye Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Check that downpipes are firmly fixed to the wall
- Book gutter clearing once a year, more often near trees
- Watch the gutters during heavy rain
- Watch for green marks down the brickwork
Questions about the report are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey comes with an in-person one.
Get small faults like a dripping joint or loose downpipe sorted quickly. They tend to get worse and spilled water harms brickwork and woodwork.

Common roof problems in Curling Tye Green
Overflowing gutters in a downpour are a common reason to book. Others notice a damp wall, a stained ceiling or a green streak down the brickwork. A survey helps show where the water is coming from before more damage is done.
Look out for signs like these:
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Choked outlets or hopper heads
- Leaking or loose downpipes
- Leaks at the gutter joints
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
What to check before booking
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Their insurance cover
- Will the report include photos?
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Curling Tye Green, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- We check the outlets, hoppers, downpipes and any overflows.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Related advice
Roof by roof
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead linings are common in valleys and parapet gutters on older houses. A split lining can leak straight into the building.
Fascias and soffits
Most gutters are fixed to the fascia, so rot in the boards can loosen the whole run. Damaged or stained boards are recorded.
Local roofs in Curling Tye Green
Curling Tye Green lies within about 3 miles of the sea, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof. Historic houses such as Danbury Place, about 3.8 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Curling Tye Green goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If you let a flat or house near Hatfield Peverel station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Plume School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
