How a landlord roof survey works in Paglesham Eastend
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the roof space. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. We also look at chimneys, parapets and party-wall upstands where it is safe to see them, along with the roof space where there’s safe access. We survey shared roofs, converted houses and rented houses, and common reasons people get in touch are parapets and upstands in poor repair and ponding or splits on flat roofs.
Somewhere as small as Paglesham Eastend, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
The report records the let or shared roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

When to book a survey in Paglesham Eastend
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay frequently fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Leaks into upper flats
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
If you let a flat or house near Burnham-On-Crouch station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their insurance cover
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- When you will get the report
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
Common questions in Paglesham Eastend
Is my home in Paglesham Eastend listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Paglesham Eastend?
It can do. Paglesham Eastend is within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
What’s the price of a landlord roof survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the building and the number of roofs. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere as small as Paglesham Eastend, access is frequently the only tricky part. 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.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- 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.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Book 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 ring 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Why get it checked now?
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without a survey, it’s one opinion against another. Around Paglesham Eastend, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Why book with us

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Paglesham Eastend
Paglesham Eastend is within about 4 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, and driving rain gets into whatever gap is left. In Essex, older buildings are often clay-tiled, many with weatherboarding, alongside plenty of post-war and newer estates. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Peters Mission Hall, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs.

What else we do in Paglesham Eastend
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
