Common questions in Brands Hill
Will you come out to Brands Hill?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
I let a flat near Sunnymeads station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, letting agents and landlords book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the building, including who will give access on the day.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted as well as what could.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Landlord roof survey in Brands Hill
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told ahead of time. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when booking. Where we can’t get into part of the building, the report says so. If you’re worried about loose ridge or hip tiles and cracked or lifting flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, on rented houses, flat roofs on blocks and gutters and downpipes alike.
In a village or hamlet like Brands Hill, older cottages and farmhouses often sit alongside barns, outbuildings and a few newer houses. Older roofs may be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, often with chimneys that have stood a long time. We report on what can be seen safely, and thatch is a specialist material. Chimneys and lead flashings on old roofs often need the most attention.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Brands Hill?
Older buildings across London and South East England have roofs that are decades old. Fixings, flashings and underlay can fail before the slates or tiles themselves, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Leaking joints at party walls
Homes near green spaces such as Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What insurance they carry
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Different roofs, different checks
Roof spaces and lofts
Access to the loft may be through a flat or a common area and you will need to arrange it.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather, so we look at them closely.
Landlord roof surveys in Brands Hill: local notes
The wider area around Brands Hill has a long history of building, with Frogmore House about 2.4 miles west. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take an older house close to Church of St Michael: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs. If you look after a building like Colnbrook Church of England Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Booking your survey
Some details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:

- The property’s address and postcode
- What made you get in touch
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey typically takes about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. Older roofs in small places like Brands Hill can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- We check coverings, flashings, gutters and chimneys where they can be seen.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Keep pets in another room
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Arrange a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
