Landlord roof survey in Welham Green
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates, but it gives contractors a clear brief to price from. Anything urgent is made clear, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. If you’re worried about blocked gutters over flats and gaps where tiles or slates have slipped, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on converted houses, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes alike.
Around Welham Green, older cottages sit alongside bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes frequently need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. The fixings under an older roof frequently fail before good slates or tiles do.
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 a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we will recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Keep roof surveys on a rolling plan
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Get legal advice on lease responsibilities
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.
When to book a survey in Welham Green
Many blocks and converted houses have several roof types. Each wears differently, and flat roofs over rear additions frequently need attention sooner.
Problems we come across often include:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
Living close to Brookmans Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their report turnaround times
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What insurance they carry
- Which limits apply to the survey
How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take about one to two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Being in a smaller place like Welham Green doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know where we can park nearby
How to book
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Welham Green questions
I let a flat near Welham Green station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Do you cover smaller places like Welham Green?
Yes. Welham Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Keeping a dated survey on file helps with future planning. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Welham Green, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

Local roofs in Welham Green
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. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Welham Green is part of Hatfield, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. On homes of that age, felt underlay, flat roofs, gutters and fixings may all be due attention.
Hatfield House lies about 1.8 miles north, so building around Welham Green goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby often mix original materials with later repairs, and the survey shows where each one is. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
Welham Green is about 2 miles south of Hatfield, in Hertfordshire.
