About our landlord roof survey in Little Wymondley
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. You can see what’s urgent and what can wait, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We survey gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses, and the problems we are asked to look at most are parapets and upstands in poor repair and cracked or leaning shared chimneys.
Village roofs frequently 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. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Little Wymondley?
A tenant reporting damp or a stained ceiling is a common reason to book. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved from what’s visible.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Cracked or leaning shared chimneys
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
Take a building like Wymondley Junior Mixed and Infant School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Which survey package you book
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

A few details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:

- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What made you get in touch
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access

Landlord roof surveys around Little Wymondley
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. Knebworth House, about 4.2 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Little Wymondley. 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.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you own a rental within reach of Hitchin station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Little Wymondley is about 2 miles south-east of Hitchin, in Hertfordshire. Roofs in Little Wymondley get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Hertfordshire. Little Wymondley is one of the towns and villages in Hertfordshire we cover for landlord roof surveys. We also survey roofs in Milton Keynes.
Landlord roof surveys in SG4 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether your property is on St Marys Church Road, Elms Close and Stevenage Road or anywhere close by, we can help. Neighbouring places we cover for landlord roof surveys include Titmore Green (1 mile south), Lower Titmore Green (1 mile south), Great Wymondley (1 mile north), Todd's Green (1 mile south-east) and St Ippolyts (1 mile west).

Near you in Little Wymondley
We work in homes and buildings around Kingshott School, The John Henry Newman School and The Bucks Head Public House and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Hitchin station, roughly 1.8 miles north-west. A little further out are Lister Hospital (1.2 miles south-east) and Wymondley Castle (0.6 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Purwell Ninesprings.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
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.
What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. In a hamlet or village like Little Wymondley, 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.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft 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.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Booking a survey
We confirm the exact price before you book, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Arrange flat access ahead of time
- Deal with urgent items first
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Common questions in Little Wymondley
Can a landlord with a rental near Hitchin station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Will you come out to Little Wymondley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Little Wymondley?
Just phone 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
