Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Broom Street
Landlords frequently 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. Whatever the reason, the report follows the same clear format, with photos and recommendations. Surveys are carried out on any day of the week which can help when arranging access with residents. We survey rented houses, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ceiling stains reported by tenants and damaged party-wall upstands or parapets.
Older buildings in small places like Broom Street 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. Where a building is listed, matching the existing roof materials is often expected.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Broom Street
Broom Street lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than 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. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. Take a building like Graveney Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

When to book a survey in Broom Street
Landlords need to plan spending on a building. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Standing water on a flat roof
Trees in and around South Swale shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
What to check before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What experience they bring
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
What happens if roof problems are left?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed, which suits a rolling maintenance plan. For older village homes like those around Broom Street, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Landlord roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
Helping us price your survey
There’s no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- What’s prompted the survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Broom Street: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Broom Street?
Yes, Broom Street is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Faversham station?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
What we do, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. For a village or hamlet like Broom Street, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you in advance.
- Each roof is checked as far as it can be seen safely, including from inside where possible.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- The report sets out condition and recommendations to help you plan.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
