Roof survey in Curling Tye Green
Our roof surveys cover Curling Tye Green and the wider South East. Visits run on any day of the week. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability. You get a written report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. When you are ready to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. If you’ve noticed flashings that have come away from the wall and worn or blocked valleys, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Curling Tye Green, 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 often old. We report on what can safely be seen, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs frequently need the most attention.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What happens on the day
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Curling Tye Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Check pets are kept safely away
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Why act early in Curling Tye Green
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. When they do, water comes straight into the house. We check them before they cause trouble. For an older or listed building in a place like Curling Tye Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
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.

Curling Tye Green homes and their roofs
Curling Tye Green lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and wind near the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour. Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, alongside lots of post-war and newer estates. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
Danbury Place lies about 3.8 miles west, so building around Curling Tye Green goes back a long way. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Plume School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Your questions about roof surveys in Curling Tye Green
Is my home in Curling Tye Green listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Hatfield Peverel station?
Yes, that is a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Is Curling Tye Green in your area?
Yes. We carry out roof surveys in Curling Tye Green.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
We don’t give a number of years. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it’s wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Handmade and machine-made clay tiles are long-lasting. Slipped, cracked and missing tiles are recorded, and for spalling where the surface has flaked.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Mortar at ridges and verges frequently cracks on tiled roofs. We check for loose ridge tiles and missing mortar, as wind can lift them.
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Leave roof access to professionals
- Have details of recent roof work to hand
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
- Include dormers, porches and garages as you book
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some faults need dealing with soon, while others can wait for planned work. That helps you decide what to do first.
Keep the loft space ventilated. Condensation builds up when air cannot move, and it can wet timbers and insulation. Make sure insulation doesn’t block the airflow at the eaves.
Common roof problems in Curling Tye Green
Weather is the main thing that wears a roof down. Wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, and rain finds any gap it can. Small faults that start this way grow over time.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
- Loose chimney pots
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
If you let a flat or house near Hatfield Peverel station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

- Which limits apply to the survey
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
