How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a small place like Nevendon, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Nevendon
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later based on what can be seen. It doesn’t give repair costs, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. Typical surveys look at mortar falling from ridges and verges and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, on gutters and downpipes, converted houses and shared roofs.
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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

FAQs for Nevendon
How do I find out if my home in Nevendon is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Wickford station?
Yes, landlords and letting agents book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building.
Do you cover Nevendon for landlord roof surveys?
Yes. We carry out landlord roof surveys in Nevendon.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Nevendon?
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles so it pays to check how the roof is holding up.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Abacus Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Nevendon
Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, while many towns grew with post-war and newer estates. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
Shop and office owners around Eastgate Shopping Centre may find that knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
