About our landlord roof survey in Cutlers Green
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It does not give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We survey gutters and downpipes, converted houses and blocks of flats, and the problems we are asked to look at most are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
Some older homes in villages like Cutlers Green are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Useful tips for Cutlers Green property owners
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Arrange flat access beforehand
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email ready to pass on to whoever needs it.
Keep the loft space accessible so a surveyor can look inside the roof. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Which survey package you book
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Height and safe access
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- What made you get in touch
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price before you book.
Local roofs in Cutlers Green
With Horham Hall about 1 mile south-west, Cutlers Green sits in an area with a long building history. 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. In Essex, older buildings are often clay-tiled, many with weatherboarding, and a good many post-war and modern estates besides. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
The streets around a church such as Church of St John the Baptist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. Landlords with a home close to Elsenham station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. If you look after a building like Thaxted Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Cutlers Green?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.

Who typically books a landlord or block roof survey?
It suits anyone responsible for a let or shared roof: private landlords, letting and managing agents, freeholders and RTM companies.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the let or shared roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Cutlers Green, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Related advice
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
