How a landlord roof survey works in Chalksole Green
Shared roofs on blocks, converted houses and terraces raise their own questions. We check the roof from each 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. Where neighbours share the roof, we can only inspect what we’re given access to. We survey shared roofs, rented houses and converted houses, and people most often book us about splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and choked outlets and gutters.
Village roofs often face open fields and take the full force of wind and rain, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. Lead flashings and old chimney stacks are often where weather gets in first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What you can safely check yourself
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.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book.
Why get it checked now?
A dated condition report is useful for the building’s records. Surveying again later shows what has changed which helps with rolling maintenance. In a small place like Chalksole Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Do you need a landlord roof survey in Chalksole Green?
A single building may have pitched roofs, flat roofs and rear additions. Each wears differently, and flat roofs over rear additions often need attention sooner.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Missing or loose roof coverings
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
- Leaks into upper flats
- Choked outlets and gutters
If you live near a park such as Sladden Wood, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Many blocks and rear additions have flat roofs. We look for ponding, splits, blisters and tired upstands where we can see them safely.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
The edges and top of a pitched roof are exposed, so we check them closely.
Local roofs in Chalksole Green
The coast is about 3 miles or less from Chalksole Green, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Metal fixings and flashings corrode faster in salt air, while gales work at loose ridges, slates and tiles, while driving rain finds any gap. The wider area around Chalksole Green has a long history of building, with Acrise Place about 3.6 miles west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Kearsney station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Anthony the Martyr, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first.

Chalksole Green questions
I let a flat near Kearsney station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents book with us as well as owners. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the building.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Chalksole Green?
Near the coast, roofs face more wind and more salt than further inland. Salt is hard on nails, clips and metal flashings, while strong wind lifts anything already loose.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes, shared roofs are a common request. Where a neighbouring roof is not part of the access, we can only see it from vantage points, and the report says so.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. The written report follows by email.
How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can safely be seen, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Chalksole Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You tell us about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
