Prices for landlord roof surveys in Newney Green
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Booking your survey

Landlord roof survey in Newney Green: what you get
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition, written up so you can plan. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey shared roofs, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and people most often book us about slipped or missing slates and tiles and blocked gutters over flats.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Newney Green questions
Is my home in Newney Green listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Newney Green?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No, it focuses on the roof. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey and does not replace a structural engineer’s report.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Newney Green?
Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when you book.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll explain what’s needed.
How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older roofs in small places like Newney Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.

Newney Green homes and their roofs
The wider area around Newney Green has a long history of building, with Hylands about 2.7 miles south-east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, with post-war and more recent estates making up much of the newer housing. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
Landlords with a home close to Chelmsford station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. For businesses in and around places like Bond Street Chelmsford, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. The streets around a church such as Church of St Michael and All Angels are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.
Newney Green is about 4 miles west of Chelmsford, in Essex. Roofs in Newney Green get the same thorough look as anywhere else in Essex. Our Essex coverage includes Newney Green and the places around it.

What we look for on each type of roof
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings where it’s safe to see them.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Finding a roof defect early usually means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.
