About our landlord roof survey in Stambourne Green
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We can’t advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. You get photos and written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We’re often asked to look into mortar falling from ridges and verges and missing or loose roof coverings, on shared roofs, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks.
Some older homes in villages like Stambourne Green are 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. Older materials like clay tiles, slate and stone are often matched when work is done.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older roofs in small places like Stambourne Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Stambourne Green homes and their roofs
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. Older buildings in Essex frequently have clay tiles and weatherboarding, with post-war and more recent estates making up much of the newer housing. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
For any home in Stambourne Green, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.

- Legal advice on leases or service charges
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches

Different roofs, different checks
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Terraced roofs have party-wall upstands between houses. Joints and flashings on these walls can fail.
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs frequently need replacing after around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
What we are asked to look at in Stambourne Green
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time, particularly on taller buildings.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Flashings that have come away
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
Whether the property is in Stambourne Green itself or nearby, the inspection covers everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
