Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Lower Titmore Green
The wider area around Lower Titmore Green has a long history of building, with Knebworth House about 3.5 miles south. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you let a flat or house near Stevenage station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. The streets around a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wymondley Junior Mixed and Infant School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Lower Titmore Green is about 2 miles south-east of Hitchin, in Hertfordshire.

How a landlord roof survey works in Lower Titmore Green
With a shared roof, it is not always clear what’s wrong or where. We check the roof from every safe viewpoint, including from the loft space and the flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part, so everyone works from the same facts. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. Typical surveys look at worn ridges, hips and verges and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, across rented houses, shared roofs and blocks of flats.
In a village or hamlet like Lower Titmore Green, older cottages and farmhouses frequently sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What affects the price in Lower Titmore Green
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Which survey package you book
- The size of the roof
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
There’s no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- Anything about access we should know
- What made you get in touch
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.
Roof by roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. We note what we can see.
Gutters and downpipes
Overflowing gutters soak walls and can lead to damp in flats. We record what we see.
Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Lower Titmore Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Stevenage station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building.
Is my home in Lower Titmore Green listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
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.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
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 we’ll say so.
How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Lower Titmore Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Preparing for the visit
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Arrange a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
