Questions from North Shoebury
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Shoeburyness station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is North Shoebury within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know 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 send us an email.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later so you can plan spending. Repair costs aren’t included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Landlord roof survey in North Shoebury: what you get
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover North Shoebury and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site normally takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe including by drone where it applies. A written report with photos follows. Typical surveys look at standing water on a flat roof and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets, across converted houses, blocks of flats and rented houses.
Trees around homes in smaller places like North Shoebury drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. It’s the kind of slow problem a roof report picks up early. Moss on the roof and weeds in the gutter are both easy to spot from the ground.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Landlord roof surveys around North Shoebury
North Shoebury lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. With Southchurch Hall about 2.3 miles west, North Shoebury sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Trees in and around Shoeburyness Old Ranges shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.

Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.

When to book a survey in North Shoebury
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it, so maintenance gets put off. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Blocked gutters over flats
Anyone responsible for a site like St George's Catholic Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
What to check before booking
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How soon the report will arrive
- What insurance they carry
- What follow-up you get after the report
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Blocks of flats
- Shared roofs
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Converted houses
- Gutters and downpipes
What we do, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Being in a smaller place like North Shoebury does not change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Leave a clear route to the loft
