Fullwell Cross Landlord Roof Survey
We carry out landlord roof surveys in Fullwell Cross and the rest of Essex. We survey seven days a week.
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Damaged pots and flaunching
What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Landlord roof survey in Fullwell Cross
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We can’t advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. Common reasons to book are ponding or splits on flat roofs and flashings that have come away, on rented houses, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs.
In a smaller place like Fullwell Cross, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings frequently give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What else we do in Fullwell Cross
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the roof is
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
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.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

What we look for on each type of roof
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Where a roof is shared with neighbours, we can only inspect what we are given access to and note what couldn’t be seen.
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Fullwell Cross is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Leave side gates unlocked

Questions from Fullwell Cross
Can a landlord with a rental near Seven Kings station book a roof survey?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fullwell Cross?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you cover Fullwell Cross?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, Fullwell Cross included.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Fullwell Cross
The wider area around Fullwell Cross has a long history of building, with Valentines Mansion about 1.8 miles south-west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. In Essex, older buildings are frequently clay-tiled, many with weatherboarding, with post-war and more recent estates making up much of the newer housing. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Francis of Assisi, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For landlords with property near Seven Kings station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Common roof problems in Fullwell Cross
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
Homes near green spaces such as Fairlop Waters can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
