Local roofs in Great Easton
Weatherboarded walls and clay tile roofs are typical of older Essex buildings, while many towns grew with post-war and newer estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Horham Hall, about 2.7 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Great Easton. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building such as Helena Romanes School and Sixth Form Centre, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Landlords with a home close to Stansted Airport station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St John and St Giles, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Great Easton
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 photographs and recommendations. If you’ve noticed parapets and upstands in poor repair and ceiling stains reported by tenants, we can find out what’s behind it, on shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses alike.
Older buildings in small places like Great Easton may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. 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 write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily leaving water standing. We check them as part of the survey.
Roof spaces and lofts
The roof space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We check it where there is safe access, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Great Easton: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Stansted Airport station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Do you cover smaller places like Great Easton?
Yes, Great Easton is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
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 are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The written report follows by email.

The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere like Great Easton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
Why get it checked now?

Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.
Why us?

Honest limits
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- A full structural assessment of the building
- Parts of the roof we cannot safely see or access
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.

- Shared roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Blocks of flats
- Converted houses
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
DIY checks: what’s safe
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 do not climb up for a closer look.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
