How a landlord roof survey works in Beauchamp Roding
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. Common reasons to book are cracked or lifting flashings and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, on blocks of flats, shared roofs and flat roofs on blocks.
Somewhere as small as Beauchamp Roding, 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. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Beauchamp Roding homes and their roofs
Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, while many towns grew with post-war and newer estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
In and around Beauchamp Roding, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early. The streets around a church such as Church of St Botolph Beauchamp Roding are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Defects caught early can frequently be dealt with as planned work. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Beauchamp Roding, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every price we give includes VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- File each roof report for future reference
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Keep the roof space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Beauchamp Roding
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office

Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
How the survey works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Beauchamp Roding often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- 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.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Beauchamp Roding
How do I find out if my home in Beauchamp Roding is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Beauchamp Roding?
Yes, Beauchamp Roding is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No. Our survey covers the roof and its parts, not the whole property. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
