Roof by roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so knowing roughly how old the roof is helps.
Roof spaces and lofts
The loft space shows a lot about a roof’s condition. We go into the loft where it’s safe, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Landlord roof survey in Wigginton
Some landlords book a survey when they buy a property to let, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out seven days a week which can help when arranging access with residents. Typical surveys look at leaks into upper flats and worn ridges, hips and verges, on gutters and downpipes, rented houses and shared roofs.
Somewhere as small as Wigginton, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on whatever is safely visible, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it’s typically the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Common questions in Wigginton
Can a landlord with a rental near Tring station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
How do I find out if my home in Wigginton is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can we use the survey to plan a roof budget?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant, which helps you plan work and budgets. Repair costs aren’t included, but contractors can price from it.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included.
Do you work in Wigginton?
Yes. We cover Wigginton and the rest of Hertfordshire. To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. Outbuildings and barns around Wigginton are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before you book.

Useful tips for Wigginton property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- File each roof report for future reference
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
Photos make it easier to explain the findings to leaseholders, tenants or directors. We keep the report clear and jargon-light.
Act on urgent items in the report first, and plan the rest. Small roof defects tend to grow.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere as small as Wigginton, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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 checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

Local roofs in Wigginton
The wider area around Wigginton has a long history of building, with Cholesbury Manor House about 2 miles south. If your home is one of 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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Take a building like Bishop Wood Church of England Junior School: a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Landlords with a home close to Tring station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
Trees in and around Tring Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls.
