Can I check my roof myself?

After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Landlord roof survey in Beal's Green
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. Surveying the roof first helps you spot defects early so work can be planned, not rushed. The findings come in a written report with photos that you can keep with the building’s records. Many landlords and agents repeat it every few years to keep maintenance plans current. We are often asked to look into ponding or splits on flat roofs and loose ridge or hip tiles, across gutters and downpipes, blocks of flats and shared roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Beal's Green may be listed or in a conservation area. If yours is, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so the council is the place to check. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is frequently expected.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Beal's Green
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently 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. Scotney Castle, about 5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Beal's Green. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Homes near green spaces such as Collingwood Nature Reserve can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and blocked gutters overflow and soak walls. If you let a flat or house near Etchingham station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

Signs you need a landlord roof survey in Beal's Green
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. They all age at different rates and the smaller roofs are easy to forget.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
Anyone responsible for a site like Marlborough House School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
Before booking anyone
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Is VAT included in the price?
Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Whether materials contain asbestos (a specialist asbestos surveyor’s job)
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we check

Common questions in Beal's Green
Can a landlord with a rental near Etchingham station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you need, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Beal's Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is the report suitable for a maintenance plan?
Yes, that is one of the main reasons clients book. Surveying again later shows what has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 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.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
What happens on the day
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Rural addresses near Beal's Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree which roofs and which parts of the building are included.
- We confirm which flats and loft spaces we need to get into, and you arrange access.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the loft space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Advice
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Have gutters and outlets cleared every year
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
The report can feed straight into a maintenance plan. You can start with the urgent items and plan the rest over time.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. A survey every few years suits many let and shared buildings, alongside yearly gutter clearing.
