Landlord roof survey in Titmore Green, Hertfordshire
Roof condition reports for landlords, agents and blocks of flats around Titmore Green, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Blocked gutters over flats
Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
About our landlord roof survey in Titmore Green
A landlord roof survey covers the usual parts of a roof: slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys, gutters and the loft. Flat roofs over blocks, rear additions and garages are covered too where they’re part of the brief. Chimney stacks, parapets and party-wall upstands are checked as far as they can be seen safely and the loft where access is safe. Typical surveys look at splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and flashings that have come away, on gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and flat roofs on blocks.
Some older homes in villages like Titmore 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

When to book a survey in Titmore Green
On a shared roof, it’s not always clear who should act. Everyone may think someone else is responsible and work gets delayed. A condition report gives everyone the same starting point.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Worn ridges, hips and verges
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Standing water on a flat roof
For landlords with property near Stevenage station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Before booking anyone
- Will the report include photos?
- Their insurance cover

Useful tips for Titmore Green property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Keep the loft hatch clear and reachable
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. Our report sets out the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Keep the loft space accessible so the roof can be checked from inside. Stored items over the hatch make checks harder.
How the survey works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older rural homes like those around Titmore Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.

FAQs for Titmore Green
How do I find out if my home in Titmore Green is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can a landlord with a rental near Stevenage station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, many agents and freeholders use it that way. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling plan.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or heavy rain, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do you work in Titmore Green?
Yes, we do. Titmore Green is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Titmore Green homes and their roofs
About 3.7 miles south lies Knebworth House, a reminder of how long the area around Titmore Green 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 a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building such as Wymondley Junior Mixed and Infant School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.
