Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wyatt's Green
A roof condition report helps you plan maintenance and set 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 contractors can price from it. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can act on them first and plan the rest over the coming years. Common reasons to book are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and splits and blisters in flat roof coverings, across rented houses, converted houses and gutters and downpipes.
In a small place like Wyatt's Green, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Damp in old walls is slow to dry, so a small leak can do a lot of harm. A roof report shows what needs attention first. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are frequently where weather gets in first.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Landlord roof surveys around Wyatt's Green
About 3.5 miles east lies Ingatestone Hall, a reminder of how long the area around Wyatt's Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Older buildings in Essex frequently have clay tiles and weatherboarding, and a good many post-war and modern estates besides. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
If you own a rental within reach of Shenfield station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you look after a building such as Doddinghurst Infant School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Check your lease or ask a solicitor about who pays
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
- Check the loft space can be accessed
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Ask tenants and residents to report damp, stains or drips promptly. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem normally is.
Why get it checked now?
Defects caught early can often be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wyatt's Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.

Can a landlord with a rental near Shenfield station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Will you come out to Wyatt's Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.

How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
The survey, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Wyatt's 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.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
