About our landlord roof survey in Park Street
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. If you’ve noticed gutters overflowing onto walls and damp or stains in top-floor flats, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Park Street, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Questions from Park Street
Can a landlord with a rental near Park Street station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Park Street?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. Repair costs are not included but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Why get it checked now?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. Older cottages and farmhouses around Park Street can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Deal with urgent items first
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Tell tenants when we’re coming
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. It is emailed to you so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Have the roof looked at regularly, not just when it leaks. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.

What else we do in Park Street
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Local roofs in Park Street
The wider area around Park Street has a long history of building, with High Elms Manor about 2.7 miles south-west. 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. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Park Street Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School will know that its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For landlords with property near Park Street station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you live near a park such as Verulamium Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

How it works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere as small as Park Street, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
