Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Green Street
Landlords frequently book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier to arrange. If you’ve noticed mortar falling from ridges and verges and leaking joints at party walls, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Green Street, many roofs stand in the open, 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Green Street can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to book
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Related advice
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Green Street
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Flashings that have come away
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Deal with urgent items first
We don’t advise on leases or who should pay. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. The report records the underlay where it’s visible.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Outlets on flat roofs block easily leaving water standing. We check them as part of the survey.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Green Street: your questions answered
I let a flat near Ingatestone station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Green Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect what can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.

Green Street homes and their roofs
Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, and plenty of post-war and modern estates besides. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses such as Ingatestone Hall, about 1.9 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Green Street goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Landlords with a home close to Ingatestone station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you look after a building like Ingatestone Infant School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
