Landlord roof survey in Chilmington Green: what you get
Managing agents and freeholders use our reports to plan maintenance and budgets. It shows what needs attention now and what can be planned for later, as far as can be judged from what’s visible. It doesn’t include repair cost estimates but contractors can price from it. Urgent defects are flagged clearly, so you can deal with it first and budget for the rest. We’re frequently asked to look into splits and blisters in flat roof coverings and damaged pots and flaunching, on blocks of flats, rented houses and gutters and downpipes.
Somewhere as small as Chilmington 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 often old. 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.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Why act early in Chilmington Green
Defects caught early can frequently be dealt with as planned work. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. Around Chilmington Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.

DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
Different roofs, different checks
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work and the report helps with that.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
Chilmington Green: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Chilmington Green?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Chilmington Green?
Yes, Chilmington Green is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No, we do not advise on leases, so ask your managing agent or a solicitor. We report on the roof’s condition and what needs attention.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Does this replace a RICS building survey?
No, it’s a roof survey. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 building survey and does not replace a structural engineer’s report.
How do I arrange a landlord roof survey in Chilmington Green?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Local roofs in Chilmington Green
About 1.9 miles north lies Godinton House, a reminder of how long the area around Chilmington Green has been built on. 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. Older houses across Kent frequently have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
If you let a flat or house near Ashford International station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, its chimney, valleys and lead work are likely to be the parts that need attention first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Great Chart Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours for a single let house, with blocks of flats taking longer. Somewhere like Chilmington Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.

- You arrange access to the loft and any flats we need.
- Each roof is checked from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
