Landlord Roof Survey in Hatfield Peverel
Landlord roof surveys across Hatfield Peverel, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It usually takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. In a smaller place like Hatfield Peverel, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Jot down any questions you want answered

A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hatfield Peverel
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey gutters and downpipes, rented houses and blocks of flats, and the problems we are asked to look at most are chimney stacks in poor repair and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Hatfield Peverel drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from the ground.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Hatfield Peverel questions
Is Hatfield Peverel within the area you cover?
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 when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Hatfield Peverel is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
Do you need access to all the flats?
That depends on the layout. Often we need the loft and certain flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We’ll confirm what we need when you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How do I book a survey in Hatfield Peverel?
Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Hatfield Peverel
Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, while many towns grew with post-war and newer estates. Whatever the covering, it’s frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 4.5 miles south-west lies Danbury Place, a reminder of how long the area around Hatfield Peverel has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Andrew, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Anyone responsible for a site like Hatfield Peverel St Andrew's Junior School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. If you let a flat or house near Hatfield Peverel station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
What affects the cost of landlord roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How big the roof is
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
