Keeres Green questions
Will you come out to Keeres Green?
Yes, Keeres Green is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you cover Keeres Green?
Yes, Keeres Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Keeres Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
It depends on the building. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats and access is arranged by you or your agent. We will confirm what we need when booking.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Is a landlord roof survey the same as a full building survey?
No, it is a roof survey. It isn’t a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey and doesn’t replace a structural engineer’s report.
How long will you be on site?
For a single house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
How a landlord roof survey works in Keeres Green
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told beforehand. You or your agent arrange access and we will say what we need when booking. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. Typical surveys look at gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, across flat roofs on blocks, gutters and downpipes and converted houses.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

How it works
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 typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a hamlet or village like Keeres Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check pets are kept safely away

Local roofs in Keeres Green
Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, and a good many post-war and modern estates besides. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. With Barrington Hall about 3.4 miles north-west, Keeres Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you look after a building such as Rodings Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we look at them closely.
Roof spaces and lofts
The loft space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We go into the loft where it’s safe, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
What affects the price in Keeres Green
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The property’s address and postcode
- What made you get in touch
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
Checking the roof from the ground
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Keeres Green
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
Practical tips
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents frequently choose the package that suits the building.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
