Broxbourne questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Broxbourne station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Broxbourne?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How much does a roof survey cost in Broxbourne?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How soon is the report ready?
That depends on which survey you choose: Basic within 48 hours, Standard within 24 to 48 hours and Premium the same day. We send it by email.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Roof survey in Broxbourne
Our roof surveys cover Broxbourne and the wider South East. Visits run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photos and recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. When you’re ready to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. If you’ve noticed debris building up in roof valleys and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flat roofs, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles alike.
Houses in smaller places like Broxbourne can face open ground, where wind and driving rain hit the roof harder. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. Checking those edges shows whether anything has begun to work loose before it lets water in. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Gather any paperwork for past roof work
- Keep the report with your property records
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
Standard includes a follow-up consultation to talk the findings through, while Premium includes a consultation in person. You can ask us about anything that isn’t clear.
Keep the loft space ventilated. A stuffy loft collects condensation, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Keep insulation clear of eaves vents.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Broxbourne
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. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
For landlords with property near Broxbourne station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak. Homes near green spaces such as Barclay Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. Take an older house close to Church of St Augustine: the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Why it is worth a survey now in Broxbourne
Leaks rarely show up straight away. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. A survey can pick up the early signs from the loft. Homes in smaller places like Broxbourne can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

What to let us know when you get in touch

- The address and postcode of the property
- What’s prompted the survey
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. In a smaller place like Broxbourne, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.

- We arrange a day that suits you, including weekends.
- We inspect from ground level, from windows, from the loft space and from the roof where safe.
- Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all examined and photographed.

- Faults hidden behind ceilings or boarding
- A structural engineer’s report
