Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Broad Street
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. 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 see how the roof is changing. Common reasons to book are standing water on a flat roof and damaged pots and flaunching, on flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and shared roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Broad Street, 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. Each needs checking in its own way, and thatch is a specialist material we report on as far as it can be seen. On older roofs, it is usually the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Broad Street: your questions answered
Can a landlord with a rental near Hollingbourne station book a roof survey?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the building.
Do you cover smaller places like Broad Street?
Yes, Broad Street is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. You will then get the report by email.
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.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Broad Street?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. Surveys run seven days a week.
How the survey changes by roof type
Party-wall upstands and parapets
Parapet walls often hide gutters behind them. We inspect them as far as it’s safe to see.
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys often let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A planned maintenance budget needs real information. Our report separates urgent items from those that can wait, so spending can be spread sensibly. For an older or listed building in a place like Broad Street, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
All our prices include VAT. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Broad Street
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
What happens on the day
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Older rural homes like those around Broad Street can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can safely be seen, including from inside where possible.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
