Landlord roof survey in Dagnall, Hertfordshire

Why get it checked now?
A contractor’s quote tells you what they propose to do. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you are asking contractors to price. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Dagnall, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What you get with us
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- A report with photos
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Satisfaction rate of 98%

Landlord roof survey in Dagnall: what you get
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey rented houses, converted houses and flat roofs on blocks, and the problems we are asked to look at most are choked outlets and gutters and ceiling stains reported by tenants.
Some older homes in villages like Dagnall 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. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What we’re asked to look at in Dagnall
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay frequently fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
We are often asked to look at:
- Flashings that have come away
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Dagnall VA Church of England School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What the survey will not cover
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Dagnall often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets

Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Dagnall
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. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you let a flat or house near Tring station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
