Cock Clarks Landlord Roof Survey
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats in Cock Clarks. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Leaking joints at party walls
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently need replacing after around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. They’re an important part of the survey.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Cock Clarks
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told ahead of time. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need as you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. If you’ve noticed standing water on a flat roof and leaks into upper flats, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and shared roofs alike.
Older buildings in small places like Cock Clarks may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Questions from Cock Clarks
Can a landlord with a rental near South Woodham Ferrers station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Cock Clarks?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details like ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch, and Cock Clarks is within about 4 miles of the coast.
How do I book a survey in Cock Clarks?
To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs frequently. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be and we’ll say so.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How we price landlord roof surveys
We confirm the price for the job before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How big the roof is
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Useful tips for Cock Clarks property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Do not store items over the loft hatch
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- File each roof report for future reference
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. The report is written in plain language.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
Landlord roof surveys around Cock Clarks
Cock Clarks is within about 4 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, while driving rain finds any gap. In Essex, older buildings are often clay-tiled, many with weatherboarding, alongside lots of post-war and newer estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
