About our roof survey in Goose Green
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and where it’s relevant we say what’s urgent and what can wait. With the Standard Survey you also get moisture detection and a structural check. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where it applies and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. We survey the roof space, natural slate and chimney stacks, and people most frequently book us about gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs.
Somewhere as small as Goose Green, homes are frequently 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. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Goose Green
Before you put a home on the market, it helps to know the roof’s condition. You can deal with defects before a buyer’s surveyor finds them. In a small place like Goose Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.

What we do, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a small place like Goose Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point outside.
- Inside, we check the roof space where there’s safe access.
- We email a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Goose Green
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Whatever the covering, it is frequently the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If you look after a building such as Westfield Community Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Trees in and around Barclay Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Goose Green questions
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Broxbourne station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Goose Green?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can you look at a roof that’s joined to next door?
Yes, we can. We survey the parts of the roof you have access to. If a problem seems to come from next door, we’ll say so.
What we are asked to look at in Goose 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. What starts as one slipped slate can become a leak.
Problems we come across often include:
- Valley linings that have cracked or split
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Torn or sagging underlay
If you let a flat or house near Broxbourne station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What exactly goes into their report
- When you’ll get the report
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Don’t climb onto the roof yourself
- File the report with your home documents
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
- Look for debris in the garden after high winds
Where it helps, we say which items are urgent. Some things need prompt attention, others can be planned for. It makes the next steps much clearer.
Plan a roof survey every few years, or sooner after severe weather. Routine surveys pick up wear before it leaks. Each report gives a record to compare against.
