Landlord roof survey in Mulberry Green: what you get
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We don’t give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s 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. If you’ve noticed damaged pots and flaunching and gutters overflowing onto walls, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes alike.
Older buildings in small places like Mulberry Green may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Landlord roof surveys around Mulberry Green
Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, alongside plenty of post-war and newer estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Historic houses such as Layer Marney Tower, about 2.8 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Mulberry Green goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
Landlords with a home close to Marks Tey station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building such as The Stanway School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often last around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings where it is safe to see them.
Questions from Mulberry Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Marks Tey station book a roof survey?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is Mulberry Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Mulberry Green?
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
How long is the visit?
It normally takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You will then get the report by email.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
What we can’t see
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Responsibility under a lease
- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roofs we survey in Mulberry Green
- Blocks of flats
- Shared roofs
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Rented houses
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in.
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. Do not go up yourself.
The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Mulberry Green, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Leave side gates unlocked
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
