Common questions in Horn Hill
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Chorleywood station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Will you come out to Horn Hill?
Yes. Horn Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but contractors can price from it.
How do I book a survey in Horn Hill?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
About our landlord roof survey in Horn Hill
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. If you’ve noticed mortar falling from ridges and verges and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Horn Hill, 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Where we cannot see part of the let or shared roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Landlord roof surveys around Horn Hill
Chenies Manor House, about 3.6 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Horn Hill. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Paul's, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Maple Cross Junior Mixed Infant and Nursery School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you let a flat or house near Chorleywood station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- File each roof report for future reference
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Tell tenants when we are coming
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Relying on what tenants report means relying on what they can see. A ceiling stain frequently means water has been coming in for some time. We look at the roof, not just the symptoms. Older cottages and farmhouses around Horn Hill can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What you get with us
- A written report with photos
- An independent look at the roof

The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Cottages and farmhouses around Horn Hill frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
