The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about one to two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Great Wymondley often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Landlord roof survey in Great Wymondley
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can be seen safely, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. We survey converted houses, rented houses and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Some older homes in villages like Great Wymondley 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 frequently expected.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Great Wymondley
About 4.9 miles south lies Knebworth House, a reminder of how long the area around Great Wymondley has been built on. 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. 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.
If you look after a building such as Wymondley Junior Mixed and Infant School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. For landlords with property near Hitchin station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

When to book a survey in Great Wymondley
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Without a recent survey, it’s hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Leaking joints at party walls
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What experience they bring
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
What we cannot see
It’s useful to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
