Beltinge Landlord Roof Survey
Wondering about the let or shared roof at a property in Beltinge? We carry out landlord roof surveys in Beltinge and across Kent.
- Choked outlets and gutters
- Leaking joints at party walls
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Give residents notice before a survey
- Ask residents to report damp right away
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- File each roof report for future reference
The report comes with photos and written recommendations ranked by urgency where relevant. We send it by email so you can share it with owners, agents or contractors.
Encourage residents to tell you about leaks or damp right away. The sooner you know, the smaller the problem normally is.
About our landlord roof survey in Beltinge
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, or after a tenant reports a leak. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photographs and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. If you are worried about failed flashings at walls and chimneys and missing or loose roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, on converted houses, shared roofs and gutters and downpipes alike.
Trees around homes in smaller places like Beltinge drop leaves, twigs and moss onto roofs and into gutters. Blocked gutters overflow and soak the walls below. 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 ground level.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Beltinge: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Herne Bay station book a roof survey?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Beltinge listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
How much does a landlord roof survey cost in Beltinge?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
Is Beltinge in your area?
Yes, we do. Beltinge is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
How the survey changes by roof type
Shared chimney stacks
Chimney stacks are often shared between houses or flats. We check pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings as far as can be seen.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
On terraces, walls rise between neighbouring roofs. Their flashings and pointing can let water in.

For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
How the survey works
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. For a survey in Beltinge, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we will need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about parking near the property
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Related advice
Landlord roof surveys in Beltinge: local notes
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Beltinge, so there’s more wind and more salt in the air than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, and strong wind lifts anything already loose on a roof, while driving rain finds any gap. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask.
Homes near green spaces such as Bishopstone Cliffs can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you live in an older home near Church of St Bartholomew, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine. If you look after a building such as Reculver Church of England Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
