About our landlord roof survey in Nup End Green
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it along with RTM and residents’ 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 are often asked to look into worn ridges, hips and verges and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, on blocks of flats, flat roofs on blocks and converted houses.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. 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.
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.

Why it is worth a survey now in Nup End Green
Defects caught early can frequently be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Older and listed buildings around Nup End Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Why us?
- A written report with photos

What else we do in Nup End Green
What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Nup End Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
How to prepare

Common roof problems in Nup End Green
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Problems we come across often include:
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
Living close to Knebworth Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- How soon the report will arrive
- What experience they bring
How we price landlord roof surveys

Local roofs in Nup End Green
Historic houses such as Knebworth House, about 0.6 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Nup End Green goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
For landlords with property near Knebworth station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary and St Thomas: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Useful tips for Nup End Green property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Act on high-priority defects quickly
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
