Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Standon Green End
Our landlord roof survey gives you a clear picture of a roof’s condition in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. You get a written report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. The survey covers the roof, not the whole building. We survey rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where tiles or slates have slipped and choked outlets and gutters.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are frequently the first to give way.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Standon Green End homes and their roofs
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. About 4.5 miles east lies Much Hadham Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Standon Green End has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently 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.
Take a building like Ralph Sadleir Middle School: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. For landlords with property near Ware station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

How we price landlord roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Roof area
- Which survey package you book
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What to tell us when you contact us
Some details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, it’s useful to mention:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- When you need the report by
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
When you are ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.

Questions from Standon Green End
How do I find out if my home in Standon Green End is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can a landlord with a rental near Ware station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Do you look in the loft space?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Common roof problems in Standon Green End
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Damaged pots and flaunching
Take an older house close to St Mary's: its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What happens after the report arrives
- What experience they bring
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
Why act early in Standon Green End
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Repeat surveys let you see how the roof is changing which helps with rolling maintenance. For an older or listed building in a place like Standon Green End, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Standon Green End can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- 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.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking before the day
