Questions from Brasted Chart
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Sevenoaks station?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Brasted Chart?
It rarely stops a survey, but it’s worth planning. Let us know what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect what can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
How long is the visit?
It usually takes about one to two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. We will confirm the timing as you book.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Landlord roof survey in Brasted Chart
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We check the roof from every safe vantage point including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we’re allowed to reach. If you are worried about damaged party-wall upstands or parapets and leaks into upper flats, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Much of London’s housing is flats, in converted houses or purpose-built blocks, where the roof is typically a shared part of the building. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it’s in and what work is coming up, in Brasted Chart as anywhere. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. With a written report and photographs, everyone can plan from the same facts.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Don’t store items over the loft hatch
- Give tenants a simple way to report leaks
- Put urgent roof work at the top of the list
- Give residents notice before a survey
If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and Premium includes an in-person consultation.
Regular roof checks beat waiting for a leak. Many landlords and agents survey their roofs on a rolling basis with gutters cleared every year.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, 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 photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait helping you spread the work. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. When the stain finally shows, the damage underneath is frequently older than it looks.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What you get with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Plain-English reports with photos

Landlords, agents and block managers in Brasted Chart
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
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 with budgets and planning.
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Brasted Chart
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Brasted Chart is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. With Quebec House about 1.2 miles west, Brasted Chart sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Sevenoaks station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. If you live in an older home near Church of St Martin, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. As a London address, Brasted Chart can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway when booking.
