Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Tutts Clump
Who pays for roof work on a block depends on the lease. We don’t give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photographs and recommendations. We survey shared roofs, flat roofs on blocks and rented houses, and people most frequently book us about splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
In a small place like Tutts Clump, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

What happens on the day
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Around Tutts Clump, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.

How we price landlord roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Height and safe access
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Tutts Clump
Roofs on let and shared buildings often get less regular attention than owner-occupied homes. Small defects go unnoticed until water comes through a ceiling and by then more has been damaged.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
If you let a flat or house near Aldermaston station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What insurance they carry
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
FAQs for Tutts Clump
Do you cover smaller places like Tutts Clump?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is my home in Tutts Clump listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof isn’t part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we will say so.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Who do you carry out landlord roof surveys for?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
Landlord roof surveys in Tutts Clump: local notes
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. About 4.6 miles north lies Basildon Park, a reminder of how long the area around Tutts Clump has been built on. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter's Church, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Anyone responsible for a site like Bradfield C.E. Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Flat roofs are common over blocks, extensions and garages. Ponding, splits and blistering are recorded where we can see them safely.
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work and the report helps with that.
What we can’t see
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Areas behind locked flats or blocked hatches
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- A full structural assessment of the building
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Shared roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Rented houses
- Converted houses
- Blocks of flats
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
