Landlord roof survey in Bromley Green, Kent
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bromley Green. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Chimney stacks in poor repair
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
How the survey works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes an hour or two for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. In a hamlet or village like Bromley Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the loft space and any flats we need to enter.
- We inspect each roof from safe vantage points, the roof space and the roof itself where safe.
- Every defect we find is photographed and given a priority where relevant.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Find any records of previous roof work

Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bromley Green
Landlords often book us when buying a property to rent out, others when a tenant reports a leak or damp. Others want a regular survey for a rolling maintenance plan. The report is laid out the same way whatever the reason with photos and recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey blocks of flats, converted houses and shared roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are loose ridge or hip tiles and blocked gutters over flats.
Older buildings in small places like Bromley Green may be listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Bromley Green
How do I find out if my home in Bromley Green is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Bromley Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
What does a block roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The building’s size, roofs and access all affect the price. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes. Recommendations are prioritised by urgency where relevant so you can plan spending. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but it gives contractors a clear brief.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Is this survey just for landlords?
We work for landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders, as well as RTM and residents’ management companies. Leaseholders sometimes book it as well.
What a survey costs
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Height and safe access
- The shape of the roof and its details
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What made you get in touch
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.

- A full building survey of every part of the property
- Responsibility under a lease
- A full structural assessment of the building

Landlord roof surveys in Bromley Green: local notes
About 4.5 miles north lies Godinton House, a reminder of how long the area around Bromley Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
If you let a flat or house near Ham Street station, knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints. For businesses in and around places such as Ashford Designer Outlet, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Take a building like John Wallis Academy: its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
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.
What we look for on each type of roof
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters frequently shows as damp inside. Any problems are photographed.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles. We note what we can see.
Why it is worth a survey now in Bromley Green
Tenants can only report what shows inside. By the time a stain appears, water may have been getting in for a while. A survey looks at the roof itself. For an older or listed building in a place like Bromley Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
