How a roof survey works in Fuller Street
We survey roofs in Fuller Street and across London and South East England. Visits run on any day of the week. We’re insured for professional indemnity and public liability. Each survey ends with a written report, emailed with photographs and recommendations. Houses, flats and commercial buildings all follow the same careful process. To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Typical surveys look at ridge tiles that have lifted or moved and crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching, across clay and concrete tiles, ridges, hips and valleys and chimney stacks.
In a small place like Fuller Street, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. 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. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Why it is worth a survey now in Fuller Street
A small roof defect typically gets bigger. A single gap lets water onto the timbers underneath, and wet timber starts to decay. Finding it early keeps the work smaller. Around Fuller Street, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Roof by roof
Concrete interlocking tiles
Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They’re heavy and hard-wearing, but their surfaces weather over the years.
Lead flashings and valleys
Flashings and valleys are where many leaks start. That is why we check them closely.
What this survey cannot tell you
It’s useful to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)
- A structural engineer’s report
- An exact number of years the roof has left
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.

What a roof survey looks like in Fuller Street
Older buildings in Essex frequently have clay tiles and weatherboarding, and plenty of 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 your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Landlords with a home close to White Notley station may find that a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Photograph stains when they appear
- Stay off ladders and the roof
- Hold on to the report for future surveys
Your report arrives by email, with photographs of what we found. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24 to 48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Findings are explained in plain words.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. Look for water marks, damp wood and chinks of light. Take photos of anything that changes.
The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Somewhere as small as Fuller Street, 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.
- You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We check the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there is safe access.
- You receive the report with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Getting a price
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.

Fuller Street questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near White Notley station?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is my home in Fuller Street listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Is your survey a structural engineer’s report?
No. Where we see something that needs a structural engineer, the report says so. We don’t provide structural calculations.
