About our landlord roof survey in Roe End
The lease normally decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We cannot advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. If you’re worried about mortar falling from ridges and verges and cracked or leaning shared chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Roe End may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Roe End, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Tell us about parking before the day
Booking a survey
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email when you’re ready.

Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Don’t wait for a leak to survey the roof
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Ask residents to report damp straight away
Questions about the findings are welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem typically is.
FAQs for Roe End
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Luton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Roe End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
When to book a survey in Roe End
Older buildings across London and the South East have roofs that are decades old. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that is happening.
Common reasons to book include:
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Flashings that have come away
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damp or stains in top-floor flats
Take a building like Markyate Village School and Nursery: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What follow-up you get after the report
Landlord roof surveys around Roe End
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
If you live in an older home near Markyate Methodist Church, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. If you let a flat or house near Luton station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Roe End
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Roe End, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
