Landlord Roof Survey in Tewin Wood
We take a careful look at the let or shared roof at your property in Tewin Wood, with photos and a written report.
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Standing water on a flat roof
DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Landlord roof survey in Tewin Wood: what you get
Getting into every part of a building takes planning. The roof space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us, so tenants or leaseholders need notice. Your agent or you arrange access and we’ll say what we need when you book. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. If you are worried about flashings that have come away and worn ridges, hips and verges, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on gutters and downpipes, converted houses and rented houses alike.
Somewhere as small as Tewin Wood, 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 everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Roof by roof
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. We note what we see from inside.
Gutters and downpipes
Gutters are a common source of leaks on blocks. Gutters, outlets and downpipes are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
How it works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere as small as Tewin Wood, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe.
- Defects are photographed and their urgency noted.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Local roofs in Tewin Wood
Historic houses such as Digswell House, about 2.1 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Tewin Wood goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take a building like Ridgeway Academy: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle. If you run a business near Howard Centre, a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. If you own a rental within reach of Welwyn North station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Why it is worth a survey now in Tewin Wood
Finding a roof defect early usually means a smaller, planned job. Left until it leaks, a roof can damage ceilings and tenants’ belongings, plus urgent call-outs. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

Will you come out to Tewin Wood?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.

Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can be seen safely. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
