Landlord roof survey in Corringham, Thurrock
Landlord roof surveys across Corringham, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Leaks into upper flats
- Cracked or lifting flashings
When to book a survey in Corringham
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Everyone may think someone else is responsible, so maintenance gets put off. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Choked outlets and gutters
If you let a flat or house near Stanford-Le-Hope station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
What to check before booking
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What insurance they carry
- What the survey will not cover
Landlord roof survey in Corringham
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It’s a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. If you are worried about chimney stacks in poor repair and missing or loose roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, on rented houses, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks alike.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Corringham drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below, and moss holds water against tiles. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from the ground.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Questions from Corringham
Is the coastal weather around Corringham hard on roofs?
It can do. Corringham is within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Will you come out to Corringham?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Local roofs in Corringham
Corringham lies within about 2 miles of the sea, 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. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Trees in and around Grove House Wood shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Anyone responsible for a site like Ortu Corringham Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What happens if roof problems are left?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. Around Corringham, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Do not wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Check the loft space can be accessed
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
The report comes with photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Keep the loft space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
What we look for on each type of roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. The report records the underlay where it’s visible.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Homes around Corringham frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
