Coxtie Green Landlord Roof Survey
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats for Coxtie Green, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Leaks into upper flats
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Landlord roof survey in Coxtie Green: what you get
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Coxtie Green and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site typically takes an hour or two at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely including by drone where it applies. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. If you’re worried about mortar falling from ridges and verges and damaged pots and flaunching, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and shared roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Coxtie Green, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Landlord roof surveys around Coxtie Green
In Essex, older buildings are frequently clay-tiled, many with weatherboarding, while many towns grew with post-war and newer estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. With Hare Hall about 4.3 miles south-west, Coxtie Green sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
Take an older house close to Trinity Church: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Anyone responsible for a site like Becket Keys Church of England School will know that long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. Living close to Weald Country Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Honest limits

- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Questions from Coxtie Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Brentwood station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Coxtie Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Coxtie Green?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it’s agreed before booking.
Do you work in Coxtie Green?
Yes. We survey roofs in Coxtie Green and the rest of Essex, as part of our work across London and South East England. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
How the survey works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older roofs in small places like Coxtie Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Arrange a survey
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
