About our landlord roof survey in Cheeseman's Green
A landlord roof survey shows you the state of a roof in a report you can plan around. Landlords, letting agents, managing agents and freeholders all use it, as well as residents’ and RTM management companies. The report covers defects, photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. It is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building. We survey flat roofs on blocks, converted houses and gutters and downpipes, and common reasons people get in touch are failed flashings at walls and chimneys and mortar falling from ridges and verges.
Somewhere as small as Cheeseman's Green, homes are frequently older cottages and farmhouses, with outbuildings and some newer houses. Roofs there can be clay tile, slate, stone or thatch, and chimney stacks are frequently old. We report on everything that’s safely in view, and thatch is a specialist material. On older roofs, it is normally the chimneys and lead flashings that need work first.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Checking the roof from ground level
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

Cheeseman's Green: your questions answered
Is my home in Cheeseman's Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you come out to Cheeseman's Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
It depends on the building. We may need the loft space and some or all of the top-floor flats, and you or your agent arrange access. We tell you what’s needed when booking.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when you book.

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected where it is safe to see them.
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. The report records the underlay where it is visible.
For landlords and managing agents
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit usually takes between one and two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older rural homes like those around Cheeseman's Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First, we confirm the roofs and areas to be surveyed.
- You or your agent arrange access to the roof space and any flats we need to enter.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where it’s safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- We send a written report you can use to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check we can get to the back of the property

- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Gaps where tiles or slates have slipped
- Flashings that have come away

What a landlord roof survey looks like in Cheeseman's Green
Godinton House, about 4.3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cheeseman's Green. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters.
Shop and office owners around Ashford Designer Outlet may find that a dated report on the roof is useful for planning and for any lease discussions. Take a building like Finberry Primary School: long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.
