Why it’s worth a survey now in Croxley Green
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. In a small place like Croxley Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Landlord roof survey in Croxley Green: what you get
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included when they’re in the agreed scope. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely and the loft where access is safe. We survey converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters overflowing onto walls and ponding or splits on flat roofs.
In a small place like Croxley Green, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Croxley Green?
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Flashings that have come away
For businesses in and around places such as Charter Place, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions.
Before you book anyone
- Are they insured for the work?
- How soon the report will arrive
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- What they will not be able to tell you
FAQs for Croxley Green
Will you come out to Croxley Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Croxley Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Croxley Green?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No. The lease normally 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.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
How much time does the visit need?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Croxley Green
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. The wider area around Croxley Green has a long history of building, with Chenies Manor House about 4.2 miles north-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near St Oswald's Parish Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building such as Harvey Road Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What we do, step by step

The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older rural homes like those around Croxley Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.

- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Related advice
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Different roofs, different checks
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area and you will need to arrange it.
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work, so a clear record helps.
