A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. Around Burnham-on-Crouch, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.

Landlord roof survey in Burnham-on-Crouch
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’ve noticed blocked gutters over flats and loose ridge or hip tiles, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a smaller place like Burnham-on-Crouch, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are usually where the work is. The fixings under an older roof often fail before good slates or tiles do.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What else we do in Burnham-on-Crouch
Can I check my roof myself?
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.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What we can’t see
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- A full structural assessment of the building
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.

Landlord roof surveys around Burnham-on-Crouch
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Burnham-on-Crouch, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, while driving rain finds any gap. In Essex, older buildings are frequently clay-tiled, many with weatherboarding, and lots of post-war and modern estates besides. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. For landlords with property near Burnham-On-Crouch station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Burnham-on-Crouch questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Burnham-On-Crouch station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Burnham-on-Crouch?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The report is sent afterwards by email.
How the survey works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a smaller place like Burnham-on-Crouch, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Leave side gates unlocked
How to book
