Why get it checked now?
Finding a roof defect early normally means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. For older village homes like those around Point Clear, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What you get with us
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Surveys on weekdays and at weekends
- PI and public liability insurance
- Satisfaction rate of 98%

Landlord roof survey in Point Clear
The lease normally decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We don’t give legal advice on leases, but our report gives everyone an independent record of condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. We are often asked to look into ponding or splits on flat roofs and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped, across blocks of flats, converted houses and gutters and downpipes.
Village roofs frequently face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Point Clear, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Before we arrive
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Arrange a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Give residents notice before a survey
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, especially on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.

How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
Local roofs in Point Clear
Point Clear lies within about 1 mile of the sea, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while driving rain finds any gap. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Colne Community School and College, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Landlords with a home close to Great Bentley station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
