About our roof survey in Turnford
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the loft space where there’s safe access. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it helps, we say which items are urgent and which can wait. If you’re worried about cracked or blistered flat roof coverings and slates or tiles that have slipped or broken, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a smaller place like Turnford, some roofs stand more exposed to wind and rain than in a built-up town. Ridge tiles, verges, chimney stacks and flashings take the worst of it. A careful look shows whether anything has started to loosen. Once one ridge tile or slate moves, wind gets under the next one too.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Prices for roof surveys in Turnford
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.

Do you need a roof survey in Turnford?
Some damage starts inside the loft space. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It can look like a leak.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching
- Worn lead at chimneys and abutments
- Gaps in the roof where coverings have gone
Living close to Cheshunt Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Common questions in Turnford
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Cheshunt station?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
How do I find out if my home in Turnford is listed?
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.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What do you check on a roof survey?
We check the coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters, along with the loft where it’s safe. You get a photo-illustrated written report and recommendations.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Do you work in Turnford?
Yes. Turnford is part of the area we cover.
Roof surveys around Turnford
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. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you look after a building such as Longlands Primary School and Nursery, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time. Historic houses like Forty Hall, about 4 miles south-west, show how far back building around Turnford goes. On a period home nearby, the survey separates sound original work from tired later repairs.

For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s 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 typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. In a smaller place like Turnford, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.

Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Whether materials contain asbestos (that needs a specialist asbestos surveyor)

- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt

What else we do in Turnford
Roof by roof
Natural slate
Slate is common on older homes in London and South East England. Widespread slipping usually points to corroded nails, and we say how widespread it looks.
Flat roof coverings
Repeated coatings can hide what’s underneath. If the covering would need opening up to know more, we say so.
