How a landlord roof survey works in Roundbush Green
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We do not give legal advice on leases 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. Common reasons to book are gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and gutters overflowing onto walls, across flat roofs on blocks, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes.
Older buildings in small places like Roundbush Green may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. A roof report helps you plan work with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Getting in touch
A few details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- When you need the report by
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us some details about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Roundbush Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us 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 roof space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Why act early in Roundbush Green
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Early surveys help avoid damage spreading between flats. In a place like Roundbush Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Why book with us
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Visits on any day of the week
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance

Common questions in Roundbush Green
Do you cover Roundbush Green?
Yes, Roundbush Green is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Roundbush Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Roundbush Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain does not usually stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
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 to keep your plan up to date.
What access do you need for a block roof survey?
Sometimes, yes. If the loft space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Different roofs, different checks
Shared chimney stacks
Many terraces and conversions have shared stacks. Pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings are looked at from safe vantage points.
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. The report records the underlay where it is visible.
Roundbush Green homes and their roofs
Barrington Hall, about 3.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Roundbush Green. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Weatherboarded walls and clay tile roofs are typical of older Essex buildings, and lots of post-war and modern estates besides. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. Anyone responsible for a site like Rodings Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Checking the roof from ground level
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
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. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
