Landlord roof survey in Micklefield Green: what you get
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We can’t advise on what your lease says, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. We survey converted houses, rented houses and flat roofs on blocks, and people most often book us about cracked or lifting flashings and worn ridges, hips and verges.
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 roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Micklefield Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.

Advice
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Micklefield Green?
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time, especially on taller buildings.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of the Holy Cross, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- When you’ll get the report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What insurance they carry
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
- House, block, shop or office
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What we need to know
We’ll normally ask about:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The property’s address and postcode
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- What made you get in touch
If you are 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. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Common questions in Micklefield Green
Will you come out to Micklefield Green?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Chorleywood station. Can you check the roof?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when booking.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Micklefield Green?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The written report follows by email.
Why act early in Micklefield Green
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. For an older or listed building in a place like Micklefield Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Landlord roof surveys in Micklefield Green: local notes
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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. With Chenies Manor House about 2 miles west, Micklefield Green sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.

If you look after a building such as Sarratt Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
