How a landlord roof survey works in Coleman Green
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We look at the roof from each safe vantage point including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. Common reasons to book are gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and damp or stains in top-floor flats, on flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and rented houses.
Some older homes in villages like Coleman Green are listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

For landlords and managing agents
Landlords and letting agents in Coleman Green book surveys as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the let or shared roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
What we do, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere as small as Coleman Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Coleman Green
The wider area around Coleman Green has a long history of building, with Shaw's Corner about 2.5 miles north. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take a building like Beech Hyde Primary School and Nursery: 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 Welwyn Garden City station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Shop and office owners around Howard Centre may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

- File each roof report for future reference

What we look for on each type of roof

Coleman Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Coleman Green?
Yes, Coleman Green is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Coleman Green is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
How do I book a survey in Coleman Green?
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’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
How long will you be on site?
A visit normally takes about one to two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
