- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Curling Tye Green
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft space. Flat roofs on blocks, extensions and garages are included where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can safely be seen, along with the roof space where there is safe access. If you’re worried about leaks into upper flats and slipped or missing slates and tiles, we can find out what’s behind it, on shared roofs, converted houses and blocks of flats alike.
In a village or hamlet like Curling Tye Green, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Curling Tye Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Curling Tye Green?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Hatfield Peverel station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building.

What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not normally stop a survey. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Landlord roof surveys in Curling Tye Green: local notes
Curling Tye Green is within about 3 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, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, and lots of post-war and modern estates besides. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For landlords with property near Hatfield Peverel station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Danbury Place lies about 3.8 miles west, so building around Curling Tye Green goes back a long way. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather and get close attention.
Gutters and downpipes
Hidden gutters on larger buildings can send water indoors. We give them close attention.
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Cottages and farmhouses around Curling Tye Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Getting a price
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.

- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Leaking joints at party walls
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- The rest of the building, as a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey would
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
