Landlord Roof Survey in Fuller Street
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats around Fuller Street, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Cracked or lifting flashings
What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen 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.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Landlord roof survey in Fuller Street: what you get
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Fuller Street and the rest of London and South East England. A visit typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe including by drone where it applies. You then get a written report with photos. Typical surveys look at splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and loose ridge or hip tiles, across rented houses, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. 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. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Fuller Street

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Fuller Street
Older buildings in Essex frequently have clay tiles and weatherboarding, alongside a good many post-war and newer estates. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

The survey, 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. The visit typically takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Rural addresses near Fuller Street can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Deal with urgent items first
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. Urgent items can be dealt with first and plan the rest over time.
Make sure the loft hatch can be reached and opened so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
