Why get it checked now?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. An independent survey tells you the roof’s condition first, so you can compare quotes on the same basis. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mundon can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.

Landlord roof survey in Mundon: what you get
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. We survey converted houses, shared roofs and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are ponding or splits on flat roofs and chimney stacks in poor repair.
Some older homes in villages like Mundon are 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What affects the price in Mundon
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium

One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Mundon
Mundon is within about 2 miles of the coast, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while driving rain finds any gap. Weatherboarded walls and clay tile roofs are typical of older Essex buildings, with post-war and more recent estates making up much of the newer housing. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Landlords with a home close to North Fambridge station may find that a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Mundon
Can a landlord with a rental near North Fambridge station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Is my home in Mundon listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. We can only inspect neighbouring parts from where we are allowed to be, and the report says so.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Mundon?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Mundon
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.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Damaged party-wall upstands or parapets
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
The streets around a church such as St Mary's Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Questions to ask before booking
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Will the report include photos?
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which limits apply to the survey
Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- File each roof report for future reference
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Arrange flat access beforehand
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings with gutters cleared every year.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Mundon, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
