Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Turnford
We check the same things on a let roof as on any other: 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 safely be seen, along with the roof space where there is safe access. Typical surveys look at chimney stacks in poor repair and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, across rented houses, shared roofs and blocks of flats.
In a smaller place like Turnford, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. That weather tells first on ridges, verges, chimneys and flashings. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose. A loose ridge tile or slate gives the wind something to catch, and others soon follow.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How it works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take between one and two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a smaller place like Turnford, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
How to book

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
If you need to share the findings with leaseholders or a board, the photos help. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
Turnford questions
Is Turnford within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
I let a flat near Cheshunt station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. 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 roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We will confirm the timing when booking.
Landlord roof surveys around Turnford
About 4 miles south-west lies Forty Hall, a reminder of how long the area around Turnford has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Landlords with a home close to Cheshunt station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Trees in and around Cheshunt Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Why get it checked now?

What else we do in Turnford
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Turnford?

For an older house near a landmark such as St Clement, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Letting agents and landlords in Turnford book surveys as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the let or shared roof.
