Landlord roof survey in Tendring Green: what you get
We survey let and shared roofs in Tendring Green and across London and South East England. Time on site usually takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe including by drone where applicable. A written report with photos follows. Typical surveys look at damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and choked outlets and gutters, on flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and blocks of flats.
Somewhere as small as Tendring Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are often old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the let or shared roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Tendring Green
Tendring Green is within about 4 miles of the coast, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift, while driving rain finds any gap. Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, and plenty of post-war and modern estates besides. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.
With Thorpe Hall about 3.6 miles south-east, the area around Tendring Green has a long history. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. For landlords with property near Weeley station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Tendring Green

With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Check the roof space can be accessed
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
Act on urgent items in the report first and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults typically get worse.
How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Rural addresses near Tendring Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
Booking a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Tendring Green
To price your survey, we look at:
- House, block, shop or office

- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Booking your survey

- A full structural assessment of the building
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Tendring Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Weeley station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Tendring Green?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
How do I book a survey in Tendring Green?
Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
What we are asked to look at in Tendring Green
Shared roofs can fall between owners. Each party may assume someone else is dealing with it, so maintenance gets put off. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
Take a building like Tendring Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What they will not be able to tell you
