Landlord roof survey in Thurrock: how it works
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen, along with the loft space where there is safe access. Common reasons to book are ceiling stains reported by tenants and worn ridges, hips and verges, on blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes.
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the let or shared roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters across Thurrock
Thurrock has everything from older homes with tall chimneys to modern estates. Sooner or later, every roof needs its gutters, flashings and coverings checked, wherever they are in Thurrock.
We work right across London and the South East, from the Isle of Wight to Hertfordshire, Thurrock included. Visits run on weekdays and at weekends. Parts of Thurrock are coastal, so the weather on the day matters more for drone flights and roof access. If conditions aren’t right, the visit moves to a calmer day.
Stanford-le-Hope: Trees in and around Grove House Wood shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you let a flat or house near Stanford-Le-Hope station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Checking the roof from ground level
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Thurrock
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Height and safe access
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants frequently lead to a survey. We check whether the roof or rainwater system is the likely cause from what’s visible.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
What a survey does not cover
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
Surveys for landlords and agents in Thurrock
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.

Thurrock questions
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No. Who pays is typically set by the lease, and that’s a legal question. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How much is a landlord roof survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we will say so.
How long does a landlord roof survey take?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site and larger buildings take longer.
