Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Deal with urgent items first
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition that everyone can refer to.
Keep the roof space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Clutter around the hatch slows things down.
Landlord roof survey in Tilbury Juxta Clare: what you get
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen, including from the roof space and the flats where access is arranged. Each part of the roof is recorded with photos, so everyone works from the same facts. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we are given access to. Common reasons to book are standing water on a flat roof and slipped or missing slates and tiles, across converted houses, rented houses and blocks of flats.
Older buildings in small places like Tilbury Juxta Clare may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Tilbury Juxta Clare
Do you carry out roof surveys in Tilbury Juxta Clare?
Yes, Tilbury Juxta Clare is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Will you come out to Tilbury Juxta Clare?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No. Our survey covers the roof, not the whole building. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey or a structural engineer’s report.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No, that depends on the lease, so speak to your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we will arrange another day with you.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How long will you be on site?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours and larger buildings take longer.
Roof by roof
Shared chimney stacks
A leaning or cracked stack on a shared building affects more than one owner, so a clear record helps.
Roof spaces and lofts
Underlay on older roofs can be felt, or missing. We note what we see from inside.
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. The survey usually takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Somewhere like Tilbury Juxta Clare needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
Arrange a survey
We confirm the price for the job before booking, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Tilbury Juxta Clare
The wider area around Tilbury Juxta Clare has a long history of building, with Hedingham Castle about 3 miles south-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, and lots of post-war and modern estates besides. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Anyone responsible for a site like St Andrew's Church of England Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Tilbury Juxta Clare
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible, so maintenance gets put off. An independent report helps everyone see the facts.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Leaking joints at party walls
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Margaret, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
For landlords and managing agents

We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof.
