Lower Titmore Green Roof Survey
A roof condition survey for homes and buildings in Lower Titmore Green, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Loose chimney pots
- Standing water on a flat roof
Different roofs, different checks
Natural slate
Inside the roof space, we check what’s under the slates. Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay, and very old roofs none, and we note its condition.
Clay plain and peg tiles
Older homes in the Weald and across the South East frequently have clay plain tiles. Rotten pegs and battens let tiles move.
How a roof survey works in Lower Titmore Green
The report is written for you, in plain language. Every issue comes with photos and a written recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, a drone where it applies and a same-day report. Reports are sent by email. Typical surveys look at lifted, split or missing lead flashings and worn or blocked valleys, across chimney stacks, ridges, hips and valleys and natural slate.
Somewhere as small as Lower Titmore Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, frequently with chimneys that have stood a long time. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it’s normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Roof surveys around Lower Titmore Green
With Knebworth House about 3.5 miles south, Lower Titmore Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wymondley Junior Mixed and Infant School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look.

Do you need a roof survey in Lower Titmore Green?
Slates and tiles often outlast the fixings that hold them. ‘Nail fatigue’ is common on slate roofs: the nails rust and the slates slide. On tiled roofs, the battens or pegs may be what’s gone.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
- Leaking gutter joints and downpipes
- Flashings that have come away from the wall
If you let a flat or house near Stevenage station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Before booking anyone
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Honest limits
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- How the roof will behave in every kind of weather
