Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in East End Green
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks so work can be planned, not rushed. You get a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to see how the roof is changing. Typical surveys look at leaking joints at party walls and damp or stains in top-floor flats, across rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses.
Somewhere as small as East End Green, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some 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. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Local roofs in East End Green
About 4 miles west lies Hatfield House, a reminder of how long the area around East End Green has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Homes near green spaces such as Panshanger Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. Shop and office owners around Howard Centre may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.

What we are asked to look at in East End Green
Tenants and leaseholders rarely look at the roof. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time, especially on taller buildings.
People usually book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
For an older house near a landmark like St John's Church, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
What to check before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What happens after the report arrives
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover

- Roof areas we weren’t given access to
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around East End Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

East End Green questions
How do I find out if my home in East End Green is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Hertford North station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The written report follows by email.
