Landlord roof survey in Pattiswick
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photographs and recommendations set out by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. If you’re worried about slipped or missing slates and tiles and gutters overflowing onto walls, we can find out what’s behind it, on blocks of flats, rented houses and gutters and downpipes alike.
In a village or hamlet like Pattiswick, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Finding a roof defect early usually means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Outbuildings and barns around Pattiswick are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
For a price for your roof in Pattiswick, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details. We will confirm the figure before booking.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.

Landlord roof surveys around Pattiswick
Weatherboarded walls and clay tile roofs are typical of older Essex buildings, and a good many post-war and modern estates besides. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Anyone responsible for a site like Stisted Church of England Primary Academy will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For landlords with property near Braintree Freeport station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary The Virgin, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Useful tips for Pattiswick property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Deal with urgent items first
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
Questions from Pattiswick
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Pattiswick?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
I let a flat near Braintree Freeport station. Can you check the roof?

How long is the visit?
Expect it to take between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes. We inspect the parts we’re given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen in the report.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take between one and two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like Pattiswick can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Keep pets in another room
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
