Landlord roof survey in Adisham
We survey let and shared roofs in Adisham and across London and South East England. Time on site usually takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it is safe including by drone where it applies. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. We’re frequently asked to look into choked outlets and gutters and worn ridges, hips and verges, across flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and converted houses.
In a small place like Adisham, 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 written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
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.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- File each roof report for future reference
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Make sure the roof space can be accessed
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person one.
Get gutters and roof outlets cleared at least once a year and include any valley or parapet gutters. Blocked gutters are a common cause of leaks into top-floor flats.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Honest limits
A survey is a careful look at the let or shared roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Structural calculations or an engineer’s report
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we check
- Blocks of flats
- Gutters and downpipes
- Rented houses
- Flat roofs on blocks
- Converted houses
- Shared roofs
What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Adisham, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can safely be seen.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Advice

What else we do in Adisham
Leave it or get it looked at?
Quotes from contractors set out the work they want to carry out. A survey gives you an independent view of the roof before you commission work so you know what you are asking contractors to price. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Why choose Independent Roof Survey in Adisham

Common questions in Adisham
Can a landlord with a rental near Adisham station book a roof survey?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Adisham?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
How do I book a survey in Adisham?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it is agreed before booking.
Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Adisham
With Goodnestone Park about 1.6 miles east, Adisham sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Innocents, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. Landlords with a home close to Adisham station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. Anyone responsible for a site like Adisham Church of England Primary School will know that a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.
