Landlord roof survey in Aylesham: what you get
We survey let and shared roofs in Aylesham and across London and the South East. Time on site typically takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. We inspect from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it is safe including by drone where applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We survey flat roofs on blocks, rented houses and blocks of flats, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings that have come away and loose ridge or hip tiles.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Aylesham drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Once gutters and outlets block, water spills over and soaks the walls. A report spots that kind of slow problem before it becomes damp inside. Plants growing from a gutter or moss on the tiles are signs worth noting from the ground.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Aylesham
How do I find out if my home in Aylesham is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can a landlord with a rental near Aylesham station book a roof survey?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Do you survey roofs shared between flats?
Yes, we survey shared roofs often. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points and we will say so.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is 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.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Do you need a landlord roof survey in Aylesham?
People living in a building seldom see the roof itself. Defects up on the roof can go unreported for a long time, especially on taller buildings.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
If you let a flat or house near Aylesham station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Aylesham
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Height and safe access
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you contact us:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What’s prompted the survey
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Local roofs in Aylesham
Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. About 1.6 miles north-east lies Goodnestone Park, a reminder of how long the area around Aylesham has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like Aylesham Primary School will know that 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 St Peter: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Aylesham is about 6 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Whether the building in Aylesham is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed. We cover towns and villages across Kent. Our Canterbury page covers surveys nearby.

Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a landlord roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Check the roof space can be accessed
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Survey the roof on a regular cycle
- Hold on to old reports to compare later
How soon the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. Agents often choose the package that suits the building.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly and schedule the others. Left alone, minor faults usually get worse.
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
What happens on the day
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Homes around Aylesham often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there’s safe access, completes the picture.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- A written condition report follows to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Book a survey
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
