About our landlord roof survey in Bury Green
We survey let and shared roofs in Bury Green and across London and the South East. A visit usually takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Everything is inspected as far as it can safely be seen, and by drone where it is applicable. A written report with photos follows. We survey converted houses, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks, and people most often book us about choked outlets and gutters and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
Many clients use the report as the basis for a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Checking the roof from the ground
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Bury Green: your questions answered
Is Bury Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Bury Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is my home in Bury Green listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you need access to all the flats?
It depends on the building. Often we need the loft and certain flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We will confirm what we need when booking.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How long will you be on site?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No. The lease typically decides who is responsible, and that’s a legal question. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Who usually books a landlord or block roof survey?
Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders book it along with residents’ and RTM management companies. Owners in a shared building book it too.
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Around Bury Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Let us know about parking near the property

Landlord roof surveys in Bury Green: local notes
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. Historic houses such as Much Hadham Palace, about 1.5 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Bury Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Cecilia, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you look after a building like Little Hadham Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Landlords with a home close to Bishops Stortford station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Why act early in Bury Green

Older and listed buildings around Bury Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
